U can get a light weight battery, tubular K member, rear seat delete, take off the front sway bar (When needed), remove the rear sway bar, plus more depending how crazy u wanna go and your budget.

exactly. removing the front bumper support saves you about 10lbs (its not that heavy, had to replace mine not too long ago) and will guarantee major damage in a front end accident.

but if you insist on removing it, let me know and ill tell you how its done.

good choice. and remember that you want to get rid of unsprung weight, not just any weight in particular.
