Say "no" to drugs.

If you want to account for everything, I came up with a weight of 33.78lbs. That's the rear seat upper and lower cushions, belts w/ retractors, and all brackets, nuts and bolts.
Of that 14.4lbs went back into the car (including re-used hardware) for the Shrader Rear Seat Delete kit.

Well that's the part that really blows my mind... I weighed most of the pieces, but forgot the heavy ones.

Time to go back and overlook everything again. You might have hundreds of lbs worth of stuff that you forgot about.

Did you tried light weight oil?

That's because most of them aren't pure carbon fiber. A majority (unless you spend a few grand for dry pops) are carbon skins over a frame of some other material. Gives you the look and feel of a 'race part' at a cheaper price but not all the weight savings. Also our factory metal parts are incredibly light to begin with.

So 27.4lbs for the rear seats.

This may have varied a bit between models/years. I have a '15 FR-S and mine weigh:
Base - 4.188lbs(ea)
Back - 14.375lbs

I just run one quart instead of five and a half. It's great!

Np, I included a few pictures above that you can use. The 8lb one is both seat bottoms stacked.

I use the town dumps. Pull in on the scale, ask for the weight, say thank you and leave. They only looked at me weird the first 2 times.

I still haven't done it, but there's a scrap metal place pretty close to my house. I've been told their scale is really accurate, so I'm going to go there. But I've also heard you can go to weigh stations on the interstate.
