I'd probably get rid of the airbags, and either removing the seatbelts completely or just replacing the 3-point ones with lap-belts, not just to save a few ounces but also because I never cared for airbags, and the interior trim can provide some impact absorption in a way kinda similar to the approach taken in American school buses. Sure it may initially sound kinda pointless since I was complaining about the weight of safety features but, instead of making the interior trims just fancy, some degree of functionality could be added to them. As a matter of priorities I'd rather have ABS brakes instead of airbags and 3-point seatbelts.
