Ok for you 2g guys (and 1g guys that have it) the silver crap on the hood, do I need it? Cause Im sure it can shave a pound or two and may make my quiet ass car a little louder. I figure since cf hoods dont have one that I dont need it. I m just looking to shave a few pounds off(plus my greddy type s already torn up one part of it. Thanks

Yeah, or you could just take it off, then strip all the paint off of the car for even more weight savings! Everybody knows that paint is just a ricer feature anyhow.

damnit now i have to take the paint off my car.....
 
you could just put a cinderblock on the gas pedal and let it go on its own thats like 200 pounds saved from no one being in the car.

Yeah, then the driver could just ride along side of the car on a skate board to steer it! Great idea! :thumb: That car would be hella fast then!

Don't forget the broom handle for the brakes!!!!
 
if you are that die hard about loosing weight you mine as well not wear shoes or clothing when you drive you will loose at least 2 pounds there. haha just messin. The engineers wouldnt have put it there for nothing and it cant weigh more than a pound if that so I would just leave it.
