I would say 2700 would be a reasonable number. Best weight savings I can think to do is a carbon fiber hood. Other weight savings options could be A/C removal and power steering removal which a lot of people choose not to do because they both are so useful for street use. Interior removal should only be used for race applications. The fact that the aluminum engine is an option is great for people who have the money.
the weight is related to what you're willing to live without, like my friends car, its missing AC, and its 2750lbs...

The outline of the port is there but its isn't fully cut thru if that makes senses, theres still some aluminum that needs to be cut thru to join with the tunnel. You can ask RB to finish the port for you but many like to port their own way so...

They have fiberglass hatches, doors, fenders, etc. They're in NZ, so they quoted me 2k on the doors and hatch shipped to the USA. That's really not too bad. I've not found anyone else doing the hatches. I may actually buy a couple of them from them.
