Spoon Racing Fit
that is a great car to look at if you are trying to get as light as you possibly can.
I believe its final weight was 1736lbs with a cage.

500lbs! Wow thats good. If you want to go the expensive route i'm sure you can replace some goods with titanium and cut some serious lbs.
Titanium is for rich people. Do what all budget guys do and find yourself a set of slim box wrenches, mark how high they sit on the bolts, and grind down the excess. Then countersink the top once you are done sanding. I know a few guys who do this actually and it's surprising how much weight they save even though I do question the strength of the bolts when done.

Been reading up at HondaPartsNetwork.com and it has a wealth of information on weights on just about every part of the car. Been researching how to lose weight with the 2015 Fit. EVERYTHING seems to have been weighed and listed. I LOVE THAT SITE!
Please feel free to look on that site for your model of Fit and scroll through all the info. I know it's not new news to a lot of folks but I'm new here. I"m just amazed by the info and attention to detail of that sight.

Lightweight Carpet!
The stock LX CVT floor mats are 10.77lbs a piece. I plan on removing/tossing those.
In the meantime, the 'Carpet Assembly' that sits under the floor mats weigh in at 27.28lbs. (See diagram, #3)
After searching around the internet for lightweight carpet, a few people suggested using OZITE carpet. I'm interested in doing this. The dimensions of the stock 'carpet assembly' is 7ft 5.02in x 4ft 7.98in x 1ft (Metric is 2.26m x 1.42m x 34.3cm). I do not know how much it'll weigh but I'm looking to shave off 17-20lbs or so. I may ask the Ozite company to cut those dimensions and give me a final weight.
Has anyone use this product before? Posting here to keep the weight stuff altogether. I'm going to have a LOT of questions so my apologies. My energy just works that way.

Thanks for that! I couldn't get the a pillar trims off. I will add that to the list soon.
I also weighed 3 pieces of the heater duct that leads to the rear seats: 685 g in total.
There are also foam sound deadening pieces behind the front seat belt assemblies weighing 330 g in total.

I trimmed the underside of my front bumper a bit since I was having a bit of rubbing. Also removed some plastic brackets in behind that I assume are for sport fog lights. This took off another 268 g.
