In all seriousness though the driver mod is one of the best mods you can do. I am 6'0 currently weighing in at 190. I can stand to lose 20-30ibs and still be at a healthy weight.

Do it, I feel so much better now that the weight is gone. I also fit more comfortably into my race seat lol...and I need to move my seat closer to the steering. Driver mods are the best!

Any of you guys who gutted your interior have a dash cubby piece that you want to get rid of? I have a project that I want to do.

Here's a picture of what I want.

Removing them should save me a couple of pounds of unsprung weight
