Check yours as it is hit and miss, they are OEM pieces. Check ebay, 4eyedpride, it will be off a 79-81 Mustang or Capri, those years were not mandated to meet the 2.5 or 5 MPH crash test. If someone knows what they have they are not given away, and are highly sought after.

FWIW,
My stock steel one weighed 31lbs, the aluminum one weighs 13lbs 15oz, everything that was pulled from my car I have records of what the item weighed and what the new item is as well.
If you remove and or replace the heavy items you could then move your car down to the lightest class and still add weight to meet minimum. But you add weight where it helps make the car work.

Billy makes a very valid point, careful on what you cut on, it could get you into trouble in tech.
