lucid: Thanks for waiting...I've been real busy with work.

My trunk weights did not include the lights/carpeting, trunk release or hardware. They were already transfered to the VRS lid. My measurements are as approximate as the tolerances in the $50 digital bathroom scale. (...sorry swamp.)

VRS double-sided cf bootlid w/o hardware, carpeting, etc.---- 14.9 lbs.
OEM trunklid w/o hardware, carpeting, etc.------------------ 26.0 lbs.

Brembo 380 x 34 front rotor -------------------------------- 24.8 lbs.
OEM front rotor-------------------------------------------- 26.6 lbs.

Brembo 380 x 28 rear rotor --------------------------------- 17.0 lbs.
OEM rear rotor -------------------------------------------- 22.8 lbs.

Brembo 6 pot front caliper -------------------------------- 13.0 lbs.
OEM front caliper ------------------------------------------ 15.2 lbs.

Brembo 4 pot rear caliper ---------------------------------- 9.6 lbs.
OEM rear caliper ------------------------------------------ 12.1 lbs.
OC, not sure if you are still hanging out around the forum. I am not including the numbers you provided because your scale seems to be off. Your stock system numbers are significantly different than Badfish's numbers (front system difference of 4.6 lbs), whereas JamesC's numbers are consistent with Badfish's. Therefore, I must assume something was off with your scale?
