Does this Aero package make my rear look fat?

Since the red 92 VX mule is about finished, we wondered how much weight all of our modifications added to the car. So today at the shop we got out the 4 racers scales and found out.

When we first got this car it weighed 2060 lbs. We have removed the passenger seat, the back seat, and today I also removed the spare tire.

To my amazement, with the above items removed and all the aero stuff added, it still only weighs 2084 lbs.!

So even though the rear may look fat, it doesn't look like we have much of a weight penalty.
