1337 · 03-10-2009, 11:50 PM

Today, I took the rear seat out of my Protege. It turns out removing 6 bolts is all it takes to pull the seat. I also removed the rear floor mats and the trunk carpeting. I'm not sure of an exact weight of all this stuff, but I'm guessing around 50lbs.

Does anyone have any recommendations for stuff I can remove to save weight? I'd like for anything I remove to be easy replaceable for when I sell the car.
