hopefully you have a good cf wallet. The prices on some of that stuff is enough to kill you. The fenders are like 800 and even more for the doors.
If you dont care about the radio too much, take that out, speakers, wire harnesses everything that goes to it. I read about this one guy (lives here in Michigan) that has a sol that he has done so much stuff to, to get it light as possible. About 6 months ago he had the thing down to under 2000 lbs. He said that none of the orginal steel (minus frame) was intacted without some kind of shaving or cutting done to it until he felt "happy" with the weight.
EDIT* another thing i forgot is if your car does not have airbags, buy a lightweight steering wheel from MOMO of somewhere like that. Also replace the drivers seat with a lightweight racing seat. If you dont really car about how long between fillups, you can buy a fuel cell and remove the orginal gas tank. (fuel cell is like a small gas tank that can be placed in the trunk. normally about 4 gallons where not talking about 4 cells as in hydrogen power and you get 937098370987 mpg diffrent thing.)
