Curious if anyone's weighed non essential wires and then sound detening? Still have that crap in my car and want to take out over the winter. Between door bars, stock exhaust and above, I'm hoping to drop 100lbs.
Was hoping to put lithium batter in, but you guys are scaring me now.
Currently my car is about 2575 empty no overweight driver ....

Yea I thought about removing those but I really, really like tracking the car in the wet. May just use rain-x or something...
