I am not sure if any one else ever noticed this but when you take apart the driverside kick panel ther is a metal panel tha runs under the kick panel. You can remove it and put your kick panel back on thus saving a couple of pounds.

The first picture shows the kick panel just incase any one doent get what I mean by kick panel

Here is a closer look at the kick panel

Last but not least the metal bar that runs under the kick panel that can be removed

Are you sure that isn't a safety feature so something doesn't crush you in an accident?

a way to save some weight is to take out your wallet, remove all money and credit cards, and then send them to me.

If you're loaded you'll lose a 1/2 lb or so.

... yeah, or not, any ways, I could use to lose some weight too.

Maybe we should start the "I need to lose some freaking weight" support group.

In the meantime, I think I'll remove the plate as well. Thanks for the tip.

actually Ronniesan, now that you mention it.. one of the problems with the elantra in the crash test results i read about show that the most damage to the driver was a result of knee/leg injuries due to impact with the kickpanel plate !!

So i think removing it might make it a little safer if you get hit on head-on in the front drivers side at 65 mph..

That's it, the plate is going now.

...where's my tools

Wow... good to know. Then why the heck is it in there in the first place?
