I didn't get a chance to weigh all this stuff I removed,... I think it's more than 38lbs. didnt' seem that heavy while removing individual items but once everything was removed it seemed to weigh much more than 38lbs.

I have done all that a while ago, however I don't think my kids would be too happy if I took out the rear seat belts

I even took out all my front carpets as well, just leaving the footwell mats and that horrible carpet of the lower car doors (but stripping the door carpet is a job from hell I won't recommend to anybody)

Oak,
Would you please take a picture of the car with all of this stuff removed. Also if there is a way for you to weigh everything, I am sure a lot of people here would appreciate it. Thanks either way.

Ryan

ryan, sorry I didn't have a decent scale around to weigh the stuff. when I get some time I will try and weigh the stuff. the most heaviest items of course are all the mechanicals, rear wiper, the rear seat belts and brackets, bose sub, main center carpet is a few pounds in it'self, I reinstalled the rear pillar cover and center cover along with the carpet for now.

Good deal. I am mainly interested in the foam insulation and what the car looks like with it removed. Happy New Year!!
