Well removal of things isn't going to cost you anything other than your own time. Replacing things with carbon fiber pieces is obviously costly but I suspect that with $15-$20K you can do all that I listed. This is a very slippery slope...ask me how I know. You'll end up spending $50 on a smaller water reservoir just because it's lighter, right Finn?

You might some times only save 0.5 pounds, i.e. a 993 RS storage box (instead of casette holder), but hey, if it's cool, it's cool!

I don't think the thin layer of metal with a hole in it is any stronger/safer. Keep in mind that the roof panel in the 996/997 is not like the roof in the old cars where its one whole piece. In the new cars it's just a panel in the middle of the car.
