You didn't even pull the sound deadener on the floor and firewall! That's at least 30 pounds of dead weight left in the car. If you didn't pull the padding off the bottom of the carpet that's 10 pounds or so, bare carpet is only about 5 pounds on a car that size and I'd leave it in but the padding is heavy. The bumper supports only matter in low-speed crashes, anything else is going to crumple past them. Bumper supports aren't a safety issue, they're there to prevent low speed damage to the car. I'm pretty sure if you turned me loose on a stock crx weighing 1800 pounds and gave me 1000 dollars to work with I'd have it down below 1500 pounds without breaking a sweat. Probably take off around 200 pounds for free.
