In addition to what I already mentioned, I have planned to:

1. Go from 20" wheels down to 17". I can easily subtract 10 lbs from each wheel/tire combo by doing this. I may install disc covers if it is feasible.

2. Plexiglass fog light covers

3. I will get some body work done to fill in all holes on my roof from removing the roof rack. Right now I still have some brackets and bolts sticking out from my roof from the removal. I will also have the shop remove some of the badges.
make sure there is enough clearance from the caliper
