Good find! I have been compiling weight data as I find it:
Sunroof: 44lbs
Power seats: ~15lbs
NAV: ~12lbs
Fold Down Seats: ~38-40lbs
Ehanced Audio: ~20lbs
EDC: ~10lbs
DCT: ~58lbs
TOTAL 197lbs
Now if you do this aftermarket:
Wheels: ~20lbs
Exhaust: ~30-35lbs
Trunk CF VRS: 11.1lbs
Battery: ~30lbs
TOTAL 96lbs
So we have
~300lbs total! And this is accomplished without anything drastic like removing insulation from underneath the carpet or removing backseats...etc. This is a significant weight to power ratio improvement!
