Default What are all of the possible weight reduction mods

Heya, I was just wondering what all possible weight reduction mods can be done for a 2001 3.8? Right now i've taken out the rear seat, seat belt rollers for the left and right sides of the backseat,got cross drilled rotors,put on a body kit,took out my spare tire ect.,let a little bit of air out of my tires lol. I dont really want to take out the A/C (gets to hot around here) so that ones out the window for me i guesse.

Remove the power seat and replace it with a racing seat, drill 2" holes in your door frames, bumper lining, remove airbags, take off your fenderwell skirts, take off your front sway bar, go to manual steering, replace front brakes with aerospace ones, the list can last forever.......
