Well I got a scale so I put it to use for my weight reduction tally:
So far (in pounds):
Tire jack kit- 8.2
side mirror- 2.16
spare tire- 25.8
tire foam- .34
tall rear head rest- .82 x2
short rear head rest- .84
front license plate frame- .4
engine cover- .9
rear wiper- .58
intake resonator- 1.86
rear wiper motor- 1.58
misc bolts and old antenna- .26
owners manuals- 2.1
rear carpet mats/ trunk organizer- 6.48
rear shade- 3.68
trunk mat- 5.86
passenger wiper- 2.96
washer fluid capacity- 4 liters = 8.82
Total weight loss- 74.46 pounds (2.45% weight reduction approximately)
And gas mileage is starting to go up slightly
But yeah I was too impatient to really set a baseline when i got the car but you get the idea.
Next is an alignment, engine oil change, engine coolant change, maybe remove the the brake dust shields, probably wont ever install the block heater so I'll just sell it. OH and i've started ordering parts for my yakima rack! Just needs to warm up now... :'(

@redpoint5 I have an extra plug if you want it.
