Looks good. I checked those out but wanted something custom. I just been sanding the heck out of this one I made and just finished a large Chevy bow tie indented in the form. Looking real nice now. I'll post a updated pic as soon as I finish the final sanding and have it ready for texture painting.

Here it is before final prep and sanding. I'm gonna drop it in the car soon before texture painting just to check and be sure everything is sitting good. So far so good. I'm thinking I could also add a fire extinguisher to the lower center area when all done.

So I also weighed the delete rear seat I made and looks like it's gonna add back 16lbs to the car. Gonna shed more weight from the car by swapping out the recaro front seats, lighter brake rotors and smaller rims/ tires to 19" When I get this rear seat delete cover done my next mod will be the HFC'sfrom solo to get more performance and sound as well as drop more weight off the car.

Ooh, I'm going to be following along with this thread. My car weighed in at 3770 lbs on corner scales with half a tank of gas and and empty trunk, and I'll be interested to see where you pull weight from. Since my Camaro is my only car, I'll have to get creative with where I pull weight from.

that looks awesome. cant wait to see it done. my RSD weighed in at 12.5lbs and the rear seats, belts and hardware i removed weighed in at 48.5lbs

Test fit was great

time to finalize the surface and prep for finishing. Working now on fasting idea.
Here is the test fit. I achieved the look I was going for finally.

There is a small warp in the upper corners about 1/2 inch I'll take out but I think my fasting idea will pull those corners at the top down tight and remove the 1/2 inch warp.

Had some down time on this project. Finally got a good coat of primer on it.

I was in the garage yesterday morning before the thanksgiving feast and pulled the AC compressor out with intention to polish it up to match other parts I did. Now I'm going to hold off on adding it back in and remove some more of the AC components and see how it goes come this summer. I don't think it will bug me much not having the AC as this is not my DD car. The AC compressor and bracket weighed in at 16 lbs 8oz including the bolts. Good weight shaved off.

Anyone have any idea if I need to do anything with the wire that plugs into the AC compressor or do I just leave it unhooked?

ICTsccaCamaro · 11-25-2016, 04:43 PM

3812 with slightly over 1/2 tank of gas in autocross trim with the 19"s on, so I should be around 3780ish with the 1/8 to 1/4 tank I normally run.

Jayjellyfish212 · 11-26-2016, 03:57 PM

On 8/6/16 my last calculations were 3731 pounds 4.6 ounces.

Today I removed the rest of the A/C components. I also removed the plastic/ rubber parts around the edge of the wheel wells on both front sides the area I think is dust covers.

After calculations my car now weighs 3703 lbs 8oz .

Still have the following areas such as the exhaust, front seats, tires wheels and brakes of areas I can still save weight from without chopping it up. Really considering doing a front bumper mod from steel to aluminum at this point.

Almost at 3699 with the goal of 3400-3500 give or take.
