I added stuff to the list so the original weight savings total was inaccurate. I haven't done this...

what was your total weight savings?

About 300lbs, not counting any items that add weight, and not counting the piece quoted above. Dont really know what rear floor mats a DC has... maybe the hatch cover or the optional spare tire mat?

You could have just added it together and came up with a sum.
