I agree,But if you do gut it,just take out everythign you dont think you need..InExample-a/c,p/s,carpet,sound deadening,carpet,all rear compartment,dash(ziptie the cluster on )..theres alot you can do man...But i wouldnt do it,seeing your setup and im guessing your going turbo,i'd be keep the weight and be mnore worried about traction

You could get a fiberglass front end, 550 bucks for this one, just cut out the headlights and make it look stock.
