[QUOTE="dustin88lx, post: 14492727, member: 137828"] I spoke with Greg a few days back actually ordered one of their carbon fiber seats which average 3.5-4.5# they average out about 9# after proper chrome moly support brackets are made. The trunk lid can save you up to 25# but unfortunately he doesn't make ones and the others on the market or either extremely light and require zeus fasteners or are made for everyday use with factory like supporting brackets and don't drop enough weight to be worthwhile. The hood if compared to our factory aluminum hood isn't worth while, due to the supporting brackets that need to be made to secure the hood zeus fasteners again and make the hood more rigid. The doors are very nice, he offers a outlaw style door(Lexan windows) and a OEM variant that will accept factory glass and regulators. This piece is supposed to be 25# ($48/lb) lighter per door at $2400 plus prep, paint, fitting. Apparently most of the weight in the doors are coming from the motors, regulators, brackets, glass and inside panel. If you are already at your wits end on loosing weight with other mods then they are worthwhile, but otherwise as much as I would love to get them for my car, I have 50# I can still cut out of the car for free.
