You could probably more cost-effectively lose weight by stripping out the rear seats and the safety spare (if the 2011 still has a safety spare). Essentially free would be to remove the steel beam underneath the plastic front bumper. Or replace it with a lighter nerf bar for not much money.

Aero and engine mapping will help you a lot more than a mere 95 lbs of lightening.

Rather than a carbon hood, I'd put that money in a flywheel upgrade, to free up a little more power.
