    ...... the OEM Knee Panel in the USA is made from HEAVY metal and its almost 2 lbs !!! And they always seem to fall off during aggressive shifting anyhow. yuck, I hated that heavy panel


    USDM VERSION almost 2 lbs !!!




    JAPAN SPEC VERSION only 6 ounces !!

    Check out the weight loss, that is called adding lightness hahahaha. And yes sure I could remove the panel and leave it off, or even gut the interior to save weight, but anyone can do that, I wanted to keep the car looking factory on the inside, so this was a neat little way to drop 1.5 lbs off the car without sacrificing looks. This is a Street car after all.



    And here it is mounted, some weight is lost and still looks factory.



    That was my 5 minute mod for the week
