1. BMR (or other) tubular K member (loss of 20 lbs) up to 34lb loss if you get the whole front end kit from BMR
2. Spyder Shaft (loss of 30 ish lbs)
3. Rear Seat Delete (loss of 20-30 lbs) more if you remove the seat belt mecinism and hardware.
4. Corbeau FX1 Pro seats 16 lbs a piece (loss of 30 ish lbs)
5. Steeda Race Hood (9 lb loss) lighter if you go carbon fiber
6. Light Weight Forged wheels (I would say the max you could loose is like 10 lbs a wheel for a total of 40lbs) ultra lite forged wheels are pricey though Enkei and SSR are some of the lightest, in the neighborhood of 17lbs a piece for an 18 in wheel.
7. Drop the spare tire get some run flats(loss of 30-50 pounds)
8. New exhaust especially the mid pipe if you go off road you will drop some weight. Some people may not agree with this but the factory exhaust is a beast compared to an aftermarket exhaust (loss of at best 10 lbs)

That's about it if the car is a daily driver, you could drop more if you removed all the carpet and sound deadning material, radio, speakers, door panels, Air conditioning, etc. So if money is not an issue then you could probibly drop a little over 200 lbs with the above reccomendations.
I'm saving that list
