Do you really want to spend $2000 for 5 lbs of weight savings for instance? That would be $400/lbs, which would be insane in my book. How much weight does removing the rear floor mats save and how much does that cost? I am interested in reducing as much weight as possible in my car as well, but not at an insane cost.
lucid: I will be posting answers to all of the above this week. I am waiting to get the stock trunklid back so I can weigh it separately w/o the carpet and other hardware to compare them "apples to apples" It is significant, the CF trunk is extremely light. I'll post exact specs on my thread later. As far as cost it retails for less than $2k, I received a "sponsorship price" which will be a little less than retail.

Side Note: Does anyone know a link to a thread that show examples of the "blended color" photos of the VRS bootlid?
