Exactly. Carbon fiber hood, fenders, rear hatch....every bit of it painted to match...racing seats, remove air bags, remove rear seat belts, get some of those cromoly suspension arms, remove all the heat shields under your car, cut out your spare tire bracket, light weight speakers (come on, gotta have a stereo...just no subs and shit), remmove your sound deadening (if you like a loud car), washer fluid including lines, AC system and heating system...make sure you take off the dash and remove the blowers and shit, replace power windows with manual...same with locks and mirrors, take off your rear wiper assembly including rear reservoir, light weight wheels, light weight exhaust, lexan glass all around....


The list keeps going on and on...and none of that gives your car a non-stock look
