    Mine's still in the car. As part of the offseason weight reduction plan, I assumed you could take it out and started to, but then checked the rules. Didn't see anything.

    I don't think so. I left mine in until it became an STL car.

    Mine's in the car too but I have to add over 200lbs in ballast.

    Having said that, I like the noise reduction and water seals that come with it. I know you are searching for ounces to turn into pounds but I like it in there.

    I read 9f under 9.1.3 saying I can remove them. They weighed nothing but were poorly reinstalled once on my car after a poor removal and were falling off.

    Its a cleanliness thing for me. I need plenty of weight. I left the plastic clips incase I get protested.

    I believe them to be insulating for the interior trim

    hahaha

    PROTEST ME. (or please don't I'm new to this)

    "carpets, center consoles, floor mats, headliners, sun roof liner and frame, dome lights, grab handles, and their insulating , attaching, or operating mechanisms may be removed"

    "all other interior trim panels except the dashboard may be removed"



    gravity was removing them already. I just helped them along
