Default 996 c2 weight loss program!

Hey guys, new here. I wanted to share pictures of my Daily driver 99 996c2 on a drastic weight loss program! So far I have completely gutted the frunk including stereo amp, from the front seats back is completely gutted, sunroof, headliner and all components have been removed, center console, radio and storage all removed, door and dash speakers removed, muffler delete, and automatic rear spoiler removed...next up are new seats and steering wheel!! Hope you all enjoy

Are you planning on dumping the rear metal engine cover? There's a lot of weight in there. I have a fiberglass cover and wing (GT3 Gen1) that weighs at least half the OEM cover even with the wing and blade counted for. The front hood (frunk) would be nice to change to carbon but a true carbon hood (not a wrap) is in the $2K ball park for a well made one. I heard a podcast on a car show that featured a guy that works at MultiMatic and is in charge of the carbon shop making among other things, AMR Vulcans and Ford GT's and he said watch out for all the crap 'wraps' and self curing carbon panels (non autoclave) being sold.

How much was saved by removing liner in the frunk?

Thanks.
