I cleaned the car out today, removing the seats and center console because I am going to replace the carpet. While I was doing that I decided to see how much weight I could remove, and here is the progress so far:

Spare Tire 17 lbs 15.4 oz
Targa Top Rack + Dampers 12 lbs 13.6 oz
Rear Cargo Shelf & Trim 11 lbs 10 oz
Trunk Carpet + Dampers 7 lbs 7.6 oz
Floor Mats 5 lbs 8 oz
Jack 4 lbs 2 oz
Rear Speakers & Panels 3 lbs

Total Weight Savings: 62.5 lbs

Impressive, considering the removal of these items does not take away any comfort or function.
