    So far I removed the plastic cap for the spare tire jack and vin number below passenger seats. I also remove the front rubber below the front hood. Added helium Konig rims as well. Any more suggestion to reduce overall weight?

    How far do you want to go? Earplugs weigh less than a headliner & door panels.

    remove jack and spare tire, rear wiper, many prius these days dont even come with them.

    remove rear seat, and passenger seat if you ride solo

    only fill 1 gallon of gas at a time, would save a ton of weight.
    might be pita to refill every day tho :ROFLMAO:

    Turn off the radio and eliminate the weight of those sound waves.

    remove the radio and use your cell phone to stream music... speakers too of course

    replace gas cap with cork?

    remove lots of bolts that are unnecessary (foremost seat bolts?)

    replace rear view mirror with much lighter dash cam / backup cam

    same for that right side mirror causing drag
