Uh...no way. Not for me. Not for a daily-driver.
AC is not an option on a daily-driver in Houston. Period.
I actually put in more sound insulation when I rebuilt my Classic. Had the entire interior (which was bare metal/paint at the time) sprayed with a sound deadener. I also foamed the sh*t out my chassis to make it stiffer and...bonus...quieter.
When I am VE'd, I'd rather run a 13.9 second quarter mile in style, than rip out 200 pounds worth of comfort from my cabin and run a 13.7 with swamp-ass and enough noise and racket to cause a migraine. F*ck that.
However, the bumper supports I could live without, or the Sunny conversion looks like a great weight loss with no loss of comfort or OEM stealth. I'd also do a CF hood and trunk (painted to match) with no issues. The only "give away" would be the (Aerocatch) hood pins. I've got a Odyssey battery which does not hinder daily driving capabilities in the least.
I'd love to lose a several dozen or more pounds (a couple hundred would be sweet) off my ride, but NOT at the expense of daily driver civility.
