Im thinking about doing the back seat delete but I wonder if its even worth it. No one ever really sits back there but I do keep books and crap on the back seat. If its only a few pounds and doesnt make any major improvement to weight savings then Im not gonna worry about removing it.
10-15 pounds: https://www.hyundaiaftermarket.org/f...eduction-info/

The trunk might save you the most weight. Spare tire is 35+ pounds

i think its worth it, but you have to go all the way. atm i've pretty much done from the b pillar back minus the spare. it made a pretty decent difference with the 1.5, but i'm preparing to do the rest. spare, roof lining, remnants of the stereo, a/c, carpet, front sound deadening, light front seats, fg door trims, fg bonnet, fg, guards, smaller + relocated battery and bumper crash pads.
its gained ~80 lbs with the beta in the front, so i'd like to keep the whole car below 2200 lbs if i can.
