Lightweight flywheel + CF driveshaft + bucket seats + removal of trunk items + light, single exit exhaust + lightweight 17" wheels and tires + lightweight battery + remove factory crash beam/replace with aftermarket.

Those are simple things that can be done without completely ruining the daily practicality of the vehicle by stripping everything out. It can add up in cost quickly, though:

Corbeau seats/brackets = $800 (~50lbs)
CF Driveshaft = $900 (~15lbs)
Flywheel = $450 (~15lbs)
Removing tools/spare/etc = FREE (30lbs)
Nameless single exit axle back = $300 (~30lbs)
17x8 RPF1s with 215/45 tires = $1600 (15lbs)
Lightweight Battery = $250 (25lbs)
Aftermarket crash beam = $150 (~15lbs)

$4300 and you're looking at ~190lbs removed from the vehicle, while retaining pretty much all of the interior in the original configuration and keeping the features/comforts.

Easiest and most cost effective method is ditching everything in the trunk and going to a Nameless single exit axleback. Those two alone will save you well over 60lbs and cost you ~$300.
