ditching the steel hood for the alum or cf one would be a big saver like imprezah said. I'd have to venture a guess that would save in the area of like 20-25 lbs alone.
have you checked out Evergreen's pricing? I think I got a 99-01 RS front bumper for like just over $200 unpainted. you tend to spend that much on a used one anyway.
Found this on an aviation website (obviously weight is crucial)
EJ-25: 2,5 liter, 165 to 200 hp, about 135 kg dry weight (297lbs)
EJ-33: 3,3 liter, 225 to 275 hp, about 160 kg dry weight (352lbs)
