I never took the glovebox out, but I've had the grille out for months and ran two autocrosses without it and nobody batted an eye. It only weighs ounces so it's not doing anything for my times. I just like the stealth look without it (see pic).

I also took the rear muffler off for those two events, which is legal and it trims 10 pounds.

Sorry... I'm having a shitty day, so if I come across as a dick I apologize.

I called up the dealer and asked what the manual said, so I've never seen the actual page myself. The JPG would be more than helpful.

The stealth look isn't that bad actually. Have you considered painting the center tab flat black to make it go away? Super quick and would be nice.

We were considering dropping the muffler for events too (Kate is running STS), but I'm thinking the noise would annoying at best. 10lbs is worth it though.
