Its not a lot. OEM was around 7.5-8lbs. Depending how sturdy you make the new ones, they are between 1-3lbs (mine are 1.5). Headlights were 6lbs each and the covers came out at like 250grams.
When you are looking for front end weight, your options are limited

Ever since switching to a single exhaust I get crazy back fires now, or they're atleast more audible.

VQs sounds like filthy racecars with the right exhaust. I hate driving around with mine, but WOT at 6000rpm sounds like pure sexy filth.
I hear Bogie is a really nice track. Its just so bloody far for us, I think I would only get up there if I was competing in something that went up. I might push for OTA to go next year.
Random, why didn't you go with a Z? Not saying I don't like the G, but you track your car more than most Z owners.

The car was never meant to see the life it has honestly - I bought it as a toy, its never been my DD. But after my first session at Shannonville in I think...2006, that was it, I was hooked...started with brakes, then tires, then sway bars and snowballed from there. You know how it is.
In retrospect I shoulda went with a Z but I loved the lines of the G. Still do. From time to time I keep an eye out for a cheap Z shell to turn into a pure track car, but honestly, Im in so deep on the G that I think she'll turn into it herself. Its satisfying in a sense, that GT3 owner I played with that day (in the video) asked the organizer who I/the car was. That dude lives at the track and has a few bays for his cars at the track. Stuff like that makes me smile cause people dont expect it.
Currently looking for a Datsun 510 to puttz around on the streets with the family.

I nearly bought a 510 a few years back. I think I didn't because I knew I would always want either a 240, or something convertible like a TR6.
The G is so close to the Z anyway, its not a big deal, its just there is a lot more to take out When I gut my car I don't feel like I lost much, since it was a 2 seater with no trunk room to begin with.
