not that easy. Stock driver and passenger seat combined come in at 112lbs. Are you saying that 2 cf seats WITH rails and hardware will weigh just 32lbs? Seat brackets are 13lbs alone both. Thats what I used to think also...more realistic savings are in the 50lb range. I saved 45lbs.

AC delete is closer to 30lbs.

CF hood won't save you 50lbs either. Stock hood is 57lbs. CF and FG variants are in the mid 20's range. So a savings of about 25-30lbs. Total realistic savings of your list are closer to ~100lbs.

nope...we have realistic weight numbers...most people grossly overestimate their weight savings.

13lb seat bracket, that sucks...

I'd be rather surprised if my Sparco CF S-Light Seat and fixed aluminum bracket (perfect height - head not all up in the roof) weighs more, or much more than one of those 13lb seat brackets.

I weighed it..corbeau seat bracket. Oh you know NVM...it was 7lbs..not 13..

The racetech head restraint seat I want is 12 lbs, my custom brackets are less than 10 because I don't use sliders for headroom, probably closer to 5. But a seat like that isn't really good for street use.

I'm changing to bucket seats. Will weigh everything and get back at you.

A/C delete is 45 lbs confirmed by many.

My carbon hood weighs 5.5 lbs without hinges or pins. Stock weighs 55lbs without hinges or shocks. It will be a 50lb savings when I eventually install using stock hinges but deleting shocks.
