If you wind up replacing the headliner, I'd be interested to see how it turns out.

A few hundred? That's tough for a road car. Will you remove the back seats, carpet, headliner altogether, radio, etc? Really it's better to start with an Elise and add some weight.
That's why I said I'd likely stop at the wheels -- I have absolutely no intention of gutting my car. If there's a more durable, lighter battery replacement, I'd consider it. I spend 75% of my time in traffic at <20mph, and there's an element of spriteliness that I'd like to recapture at that speed -- not sure what will do that. I thought I was going to be interested in more power as well, but really, I don't need anymore at wot, I need the playfulness at 20 that's already there (in spades) at 60. :shrug: A little less harshness over the bumps would be swell as well.

The sound tube delete is high on my list -- I have it plugged, but I'm not a fan of pointless bits.

Works for me. There's even an element of open roof back there, if you're short enough not to be hunched over.
