i don't think making a car lighter by taking seats out and replacing parts with fiberglass should be considered ricing. I personally dont like fiberglass parts but i dont see how thats ricing, making a car lighter by taking out seats that are not used seems really logical to me.... it helps make it quicker doesnt it? It serves a purpose... as do lighter seats and such

I was saying don't do all that crap if you have a civic with a D15B7 engine and auto tranny, that you share with your mom. Had a friend, long story. I say do what you want to your car (its yours after all), whether you think its ricey or not is between you and your conscience.

I'm just going to point out that a fiberglass "aero" bumper (aka body kit parts) actually weigh more than factory PU bumpers.

My newbish mind thought that fiberglass and carbon fiber were the same thing... i know right!! well i thought they WEIGHED the same. But yeah ^ replacing parts not ADDING kits, of course that would be heavier
