I'm not too concerned with input on the safety aspect.
I'd like to keep it looking stock.
I know base seats will be lighter etc, but I'm looking at reducing weight without incurring any cost.
Things such as removing the hood insulation - I know some people have done this, any noticeable difference with engine temp, paint discoloration etc?
On previous cars there's always been a few items you can remove and the safety impacts are negligible.
