Unless you're willing to live with a gutted interior and noisy car, weight reduction for the street is like chasing your tail. You're not really going to get anywhere.

The hood is already aluminum, so going cf is not going to offer any weight reduction. Maybe nose and front fenders from dry cf? But honestly, those are going to cost more than a turbo kit. You may not notice the 5 pound weight reduction from the body parts, but you'd certainly notice the 50+hp from a turbo kit.
