    Airbag delete? no. take out everything in the trunk, you can get an aluminum subframe, windshield washer reservoir ect.

    and the floors not flat and level either with out the rug, so your feet may or may not feel right working the pedals. oh and the floor will be 3 inches lower when the rug is out.
