I agree with hummingbird and Neil. You don't want to remove the headrest in a seat where somebody is actually sitting. And from what I've read you can probably net bigger gains by changing driving habits and doing aerodynamic mods.
But this thread is about weight reduction, so let's continue down that path!
Fluids are heavy. Don't gas up until you're running on fumes and consider filling up only half way. Also, don't fill your windshield wiper reservoir completely full.
Does the Protege engine have a plastic cover? It's probably just for show. While you're under there, do you really need to drive around all the time with the heavy steel hood prop?
If you're not serious about audio quality, think about removing the rear speakers. You'll lose some bass but still have a good soundstage up front.
I have more ideas but they either:
1. cost money
2. don't save much weight
3. cause too much inconvenience
So I think I'll stop for now.
