Stock alternator weighs 13 pounds from what I can tell. (not sure if that's relevant to most of you) I'm looking for one that about half that.
Lexan was discussed a few pages ago. Mazdaspeed still has some pieces but the front windshield is NLA. I was sent to SHIELDS®
One of these days I'll chime in on stock front fenders vs. fiberglass ones.

does anyone know how much the stock doors weigh? both the front and rear? I'm thinking of getting some carbon fiber ones that weigh in at 12lbs if the the weight loss is significant it would be worth purchaseing because its weight from the center of the vehicle so it wouldnt have much affect on the front to rear weight distribution.

Head unit (CD unit + A/C controls): 6.6 lbs
The Bose door speaker is lighter than I expected. Less than 2 lbs comes to mind. I'll have to weigh them again.
The door's heaviest pieces are the glass and the actual upholstery cover. The door itself is pretty light.

HID headlight assembly - 5.8 lbs (each)
Fog light assembly - 0.77 lbs / 12.3 oz / 351 g (each)
Oil cooler duct (plastic piece used instead of fog light assembly) - 3.1 oz
Note that the fog light assembly was previously reported to weigh 1.2 lbs in this thread, which must be either incorrect or referring to both fog lights (plus/minus error)
