You might replace the spare tire with a plug kit/inflator. It won't help you if a wheel gets damaged or something punctures the sidewall, but it should cover 90% of leaks.

So far I’ve removed the spare tire/tools (insurance has free tows), any unneeded metal heat shielding from under the car, any unused brackets in the engine bay.
As well as replacing the exhaust system with a titanium one.
Lightweight battery, lightweight flywheel as well.
I’ve still got a long list of things to purchase but they’re all big ticket items.
(Carbon hood, 2 piece lightweight brake discs, lighter driveshaft CF/Aluminum)
