Looks. Probably weighs 1 lb less than OEM. Honestly most carbon fiber saves very little for these cars, especially the hood. The OEM hood is light as heck. But to be fair every lbs does add up. I estimate about 50-75 lbs I've eliminated already.

Is that 50-75lbs all with Carbon Fiber panels or other areas of weight reduction?

Im sure Im forgetting something
EDIT: OH! I need new bushings for my sway bars. Last few times I had work done on the car, had my mechanic grease them... making sure to tell him to use silicone grease or to leave it alone. He did it, twice. There was some strange feeling in the car that after some research lead me to diagnose bad bushings... I checked with him... he's been using lithium grease, and it damaged the poly bushings... Just ordered my own giant tube of silicone grease, but need to get new bushings now.

Good call. That’s probably the trick. Didn’t even think of that. Duh. I was going to reach out and take my car over to them as I’m local to their shop as they offer install service. But, sounds like that will eliminate one issues hopefully. Does anybody make a modified center brace? Otherwise I’ll just wrap the exhaust with the heat wrap where it’s touching. Really like the exhaust sound. Not too loud and not too quiet.

All. 2 piece rotors, deleted spare/tools/washerfluid, along with all the carbon fiber. Wheels are light for the size, but with the tires probably around OEM weight. More planned but I've done a lot this year going to take it easy now.

Tow Hook and Muffler Delete
So after a long night of trying to dermal a hook hole that is 15mm to be 15/16in I went to my neighbor in the morning and he drilled it for me. Installed my car hook strap (for decoration) and installed my burnt tips and did a muffler delete 😍

I wasn't happy with my headlights so I redid them once again. Tried something new and put the halo ring inside the stock shroud. I think it looks pretty cool. Also did the STI-R retrofit as well. Had to buy new DEPO headlights and use the plastic lenses on my original AFS headlight housings in order to retain AFS.
