Weight Reduction
It's obvious that the more power and performance parts you add the faster your car will be (hopefully), but do any of you guys do any type of weight reduction. I know one obvious will be removing the spare and the jack, but what else do you guys do. How many of you got carbon fiber parts for your car?
I seen on some website carbon fiber doors... i think it said took off 120 lbs but its legal and not safe, but my car isn't a daily driver so i guess i would do it anyways lol, but it said 03-06 and i got 07

Maybe start with some lightweight wheels?

On a serious note, it's best spent on HP/torque than for weight reduction. The car is heavy because it's built of quality materials. I had an Altima before my Z and it was light because it was made out of cheap materials. Sheding a few lbs from the wheels for the amt that you are going to spend on it too much for little gain in quickness.
