Already have the lighter AP Racing BBK to save around 55lbs over stock BBK that comes standard with the M2C. So I'm already looking at 115+lbs weight savings. And this is without factoring in the exhaust. It should be around 135+lbs savings with the exhaust. Already back to OG M2 weight spec  |
Just some mental math:
4.5K for roof
6.5K for hood
6K for MPE
5K for BBK
battery? fuck it..for free
22K to shed 135 lbs  |
If prices are that high, I'll skip port install and buy the hood at invoice and have my local body shop paint it. In US, invoice prices are about 20% cheaper than list (MSRP) prices. Roof is the only item I might not do if port install isn't available by the time my car reaches the port or if the prices are crazy high as you mentioned.
Also, I'm not getting MPE either if it's more than $5K. There are several other options again in US for half the price and you get little bit of performance benefit too in addition to weight savings
