I will soon be releasing a thread detailing my weight loss program. These mirrors will likely only amount to 4 lbs but I have amassed a bunch of 1 lb to 4 lb weight loss items on the car that have resulted in more than 220 lbs total weight reduction (even after adding back the weight of aero, cage, rear seat delete, larger coolers, etc). My goal is to reach 300 lbs lost while still maintaining interior panels, carpet, stereo, HVAC. That level of weight reduction makes a significant impact on the feel and performance of the car.

i think you and i have done a few of the same things for weight loss, but i'm looking forward to your thread. i presume you weighed your SPL links to compare against the oem arms?
