Lightening a porsche 996
 
I am just curious how difficult or costly it is to lighten a 2003 996. Does anyone know if this is just a matter of pulling off some sound deadening material out of doors and the engine bay or something that requires the complete disassembly of the car.
Thanks.

for starters, the basics to lightening any car are taking out un necessary components. ie. seats. carpeting, consoles, ext. if you still want to keep the interior look, then i would recomend getting fiberglass/carbon fiber parts either custom made or bought

I would like to keep some of the original look to the inside. Do things like carbon doors or body panels affect warranty in any sort of way? And would racing seats (like with 4 point harnesses) do much?
