Default Weight of Interior pieces removed for rollbar

does anyone have the weight of all the rearward trim pieces removed for a rollbar?

-stock roll bars/plastics
-rear bulkhead
-glove box/secret compartment
-rear tray
-other misc plastics

I am trying to figure how much more I need to do to offset a 50lb rollbar

I posted this info about 3 or 4 years ago. I recall that it was almost a wash.

Perfect, exactly what I was looking for! I am debating keeping the glove box and/or some carpeting to give it a GT3 look. Sounds like if I want to do either and keep the weight the same I need to remove that added weight.

The odd thing is, some of my fastest times have been with a passenger, so IDK if I should really care that much!!

It definitely isn't a wash but it's close. I think the OEM interior stuff probably weights 10-15lbs less than a rollbar.

I don't think, I actually weighed it all.

I can believe it if you include the spare... but otherwise I guess I'd be really surprised.

Corner balance may help.

I love the implications that I can't weight 4 things and add it together.

I'm not saying that, I'm just surprised that the bulkhead bar, rollbars, and thin plastic back there weighs that much.
