Thanks again 
cf hood is very tempting; cf trunk is too fragile to handle the gt wing.
Here are some more Seibon Plastic & cf door pic.'s... they were installed when I had my previous useless Cusco cage. Frame-per-frame all four doors weigh 66 pounds less than stock. Still waiting for the door cards.

That's a Cusco bolt-in cage? What is up with the proximity, shape and multiple bends in the cage? Good idea swapping that thing out, looks like it'll cause more damage than good actually.

Actually the Cusco cage isn't bad. The mutliple bends are to go around the factory dash so you don't have to hack the car apart to install it. We did the same thing on our black shop drag car when we custom made our cage. Now that it has no interior in it it's kind of senseless. At the time though with the full interior it was great.

dunno how cheap you can get it, but here is a link to the cusco cage. Pretty good looking as for as fabrication.

Took out the a/c, abs, electric window mechanisms and related parts... added c/f door cards and tunnel trays. Car now weighs 2,777.8 pounds (7% fuel in tank).
Will post exact weight of each soon.

woooah this is nuts....i wish i could get my car to weight 3000 pounds...when you guys are talking about wiring harness, what are the harnesses for? I mean who makes them and how much weight do they save...right now i think i have saved only about 80 pounds...i have the buschur tbe and there mini battery. I also stripped the trunk. Im gonna order sparco corsa seats and a sparco steering wheel that should bump my total weight savings up to around 130 do you guys agree?

Setup the GT Wing to go through the CF Trunk and on to the cage and that will take care of your issue of being too fragile.
get a set of magnesium wheels like the Volk TE37 MAG's. Retarded weight savings.
