You could get a carbon fiber hood and trunk to save 15-20lbs.

Use Underpulleys, carbonfiber driveshaft, and carbon fiber hood/trunk.

Also can get lighter wheels too.

you sound like you arent willing to sacrifice to save the weight. dont bother... if you are talking about the sound detoning then just remove that and leave it....take out the back seat carpets automatic window modulaters ac..... thats good for a little weight. . .
