Realistically meaning without raising the price or compromising all weather usability and reliability:

Remove and replace spare tire + tools with can of fix-a-flat - 30-40 lbs (depending on laws)
Smaller washer fluid reservoir and less fluid - 2-4 lbs (est)
Single exit exhaust and muffler - 20 lbs (Tanabe concept G as benchmark)
Manual on CDROM - 1 lbs
Lighter weight front seats - 14 lbs (est)
Delete front strut bracing - 3 lbs
Remove all sound dampening tiles - 3 lbs
Smaller door speakers - 2 lbs
Sound tube delete - 3-4 lbs

So maybe 90-100 lbs lighter without adding cost or sacrificing usability. Now what would an owner think about a car with no spare, shittier speakers, and more NVH?
