yea sounds good, so far then im going to get the folowing, i love my hood but they make the same thing in carbon fiber and the hood came on the car so i didnt pay anything extra for it, so carbon hood, carbon hatch, lexan rear window, (do the plexy glass side windows look like **** or do they look and work like factory windows?) lightweight driveshaft, im goin 8.8 wich is aluminum diff so that saves weight, the strongest, yet lightest axels i can find, cargo bin is gone, jack and spare tire are gone, smog pump is going, fiberglass fenders, already have a sleek headlight kit that came on the car, looks like **** tho and doesnt line up well so thats getting replaced by a better one, getting an aluminum radiator, the exaust is prolly gona be stainless if i can get it welded up for a decent price, i am acually going all aluminum ls2 on this one untill i can afford to build up a shell and throw a build 13b or 20b in it, for the sole purpose of i drive this every day and my engine i have is a fresh rebuild and is already takin a **** on me, so somthin a little more reliable that i can build good power with still, im goin all lightweight internals, flywheel, and clutch on that tho so it shouldnt really add a hole lot more then like 15 pounds to the car because its all aluminum block, and heads, that and some other small things, got 245x19 in the front and 275x19 in the rear, what should i be done to when its all said and done?

Well, I dropped another 10 lbs off my car today. I bought some new front tires that only weigh 12 lbs each. That's 10 lbs less than my old front tires.

Lupe, my cars stripped too but i had to put in padding and a rug for the drivers side flooring.
How did you deal with this!?
It has that 2 by 2 reinforment pressed into the chassie right under the brake pedal, i couldnt deal with that hell no, i was thinking about getting someone to weld in a metal floor board above it but you said you removed the padding so you must have had to deal with it somehow.

Well, I tried to keep them from popping out but that didn't work. They ended up popping out anyhow. I had to glue them back down.
