yeah, I agree that you really have to weigh the pros and cons. I vote for NON COSMETIC mods, since the weight reduction won't be significant enough for what you're using the car for. (Because if weight was REALLY an issue, you'd probably want to put in new seats, replace your windows, etc.) Rather, put your money where it'll make a difference- into the engine or suspension. THAT's gonna matter in the long run.
