a body kit adding weight reduction?

i've heard that most parts on a neon are as light as carbon fiber
They aren't that light, but they aren't very heavy either.

okay, now what we have come to talking about the weight of paint and a form of plastic? and you have to prime before you paint almost anything and you should prime anyways. and if you have to worry about the few oz that the paint puts on then you got some real issues. thats what i think anyways.

heres a tip ricers don't take car of their cars.the apc taillights if you don't take care of them they fade i have never seen non faded onesthey all look like they never been washed and the best way too say this one is ricers are cheap thats why you see apc crap every where.having a cool looking car does not make you a ricer its when they shove this stuff on and don't take care of it and run your mouth that all these body parts added 100hp that is what a ricer is so you can own a ricer and still be a tuner too just by saying it did not a any hp

wow...i must of missed the section in any race car magizine that explains where painting your bumpers drastically drops your 1/4 mile timeand i know that stratus must be a 10 second car to worry about weight reduction enough to remove 5lb side skirts[&:]
thats just dumb
not all ricers dont take care of their cars....now your justbeing ignorant

i have seen alot of ricers out there that dont have apc tailights......thats just not a good example of a ricer.....find a better one

maybe its not that they dont take care of their cars. maybe its just that they dont know how. i bet you dont even know how to properly take care of your paint. being that its a 1200$ job it must take care of itself right? WRONG! auto detailing is an art and im sure its one you dont have. i bet you wax it once a month or so thinking your doing your paint a huge favor bywaxing monthly. when really all your doing is letting the wax build up but hey you know best. cause your not a ricer.
