other than that, i wouldn't do much more as it cuts into practicality.
+ the wedges behind the rear wheels

the dog bone weight off the rear end

floor mats, windshield wipers (track only), all your windshield washer fluid, spoiler, clean out your car, center console, glove box, i bet you can find a quick 30 pounds without spending 500+ on a tubular K member.
