Dunno. The 03+ SXT/RT wing weighs like ten pounds.

I think putting the stock bumpers back off and getting rid of the heavy fiberglass body kit would be more worthwhile.

I have that kit sitting in my basement, and i can tell you that it weighs at least less then the stock bumper. The plastic is much more dense then the fiberglass.

Really? I know fiberglass can be pretty heavy. Oh well I still don't like it as much as the r/t front bumper or sideskirts. I dont think taking the spoiler off is worth it either.

if you're doing drag racing, I vote for taking the spoiler off. Weight and also drag are against you. Neons need all the help they can get.

Really, taking off your PS and AC is the BEST bet for drag racing. I didn't take mine off intensionally, but it came off when I was going down the track. Apparently it's worth 6HP on a 1gn for just taking off the belt, not sure how much on a 2gn.

My Kaminari front fascia definately weighs more than the OEM.
But it is also very durable.

I hit a coyote, or large fox dead on @65 mph, and it didn't leave anything but blood. It sounded like hell tho. I thought for sure the fascia was done.
But hopefully you don't run into animals playing chicken at the 1320.
I just remember the OEM one feeling like a feather compared to the Kaminari.

Haul that thing into the post office and weigh it! Shit, the looks you'll get will be worth it!

Dude I bet my spoiler will set off the double-action trigger pull on my Jericho 941 if you set it on it. I'm not sure how much the pull is, but it's at least six or seven pounds.

...did someone mention handguns?!!

but really, the spoiler is probably around 10 lbs... ah who am i kidding. I have no idea how much it weighs. Mine didn't come with one.
