Hmmm... that's debatable Ecky.
Shaving off excess bolt lengths and getting rid off excess metal (Drilling for lightness) in various brackets etc adds up and is easy to tackle in bite size chunks without the car being out of commission.
Shooting yourself in the foot with heavy and impractical boat tails and such just because 'that's easy to do low hanging fruit' is what I am ...er... weighing up.
That's the reason for this post.
That makes it unpopular but facts are facts...

800lbs of added weight specifically 'for aero' in a typical car??
