Just trying to make a point before you go beyond point of no return. Been there done that. Twice 
.
Seems like you are about to dump a bunch of money in a hole, consider who's writing this.
I just would buy a ready to go (street legal) race ready car before I would part out and make a perfectly fine 997 undriveable on the street. Legal or not. Or buy a used truck and trailer.
Me thinks between instant depreciation and lightweight upgrade costs you can have a a lightweight stripper from someone who already prepped a car for less you can sell your car for.

I have since put my car back in D.E street trim so i can still use it everyday while in florida.(But the stripper in her is asking to come back out!).......
It would be a shame to take your car from street duty and turn it into a stripped down weekend warrior.

As far as value, my car is probably bottomed out. 32k miles. Probably close to 20k of it on the track. Scratches, small dents, etc... This car will only be appreciated by a club racer at this point.
The trailer setup is for sure a consideration.

Sunroof is definitely coming out in a couple weeks. Roof skin should be here next week.

Agreed. But it doesn't really cost a ton of money to lighten it up. Basically just taking stuff out. I can always put it in my attic and return to stock if I have to. Nothing permanent.

been there done that and it didn't work that way. 
If you are serious about it then don't 1/2 azz it
while the roof is off go with a full cage for safety and you may as well call Lex at Motion Control 
and order you shocks and get rid of the crxppy 1st gen PASM. Carbon wide front fenders and carbon hood are nice to go with the carbon doors. Regear the transmission. Who am I to stop you from helping the Economy.
