This works very well. I lost 18 lbs in 2 months through diet and exercise. I didn't even have to sacrifice my rear seat or carpet or air conditioning or anything. And it was free!

searching would do you good. but:
1. lose weight yourself
2. spare tire and parts remove from trunk
3. remove mats incl. trunk mat
4. lightweight battery
5. rear seat removal
6. get carbon fiber replacement parts (arguable)
7. remove passenger seat
8. drain all your washer fluid.
9. get lighter replacement parts I.E. crank pulley.
10. lighter wheels
11. use your head to figure out other things. just like I did w/ this list.
