-35.7 lbs for the trunk and BBK. Add some lighter wheels to that and you could be at ~55lbs decrease. Not too shabby.
Add a Ti exhaust and you could be at ~90lbs. Looks like 100lbs is fairly attainable with "normal" mods.
If you want to get crazy like Lucid, you could pull your trunk mat/mobility kit/battery cover out too! You would be at ~103lbs.
That's right. About 103lbs of savings with bolt on stuff without taking away from the comfort according to the info gathered on this thread, which comes at a cost of $15184 excluding install. (plus braking performance improvement and minor power gain). You can probably recover about ~$4k of that by selling the mods before you sell the car, so the ultimate cost is probably more like ~$11k. Folks wondering about why the CSL was selling for so much?
