As well, pulling 80 pounds off of a ~1,900 pound car is not insignificant.

keep in mind all panels were composite to begin with, so really not much weight to be taken off

Not hardly. Here's the company that makes the carbon clams. About 5k for both, a few grand more for the various other bits.

To clarify-- this one may indeed be wrapped, but CF clams and all of the other parts (roof, doors, front covers, etc) are all available in carbon.
