I don't think that any of the body kits will be significantly lighter that any other. However, you may find that one particular type is lighter. Fiberglass/carbonfiber/polyethylene/???
I know that not having a body kit is the lightest that you can do. It doesn't get any better then that.

considering the tC bumpers are paper thin...i dont think you will get much lighter...and even if you do, it wouldnt be worth the price you'd have to pay.

Most body kits will actually be heavier than stock bumpers however you will not see any difference performance wise either way with such a small difference.

Just for reference, my CF fenders and lips are heavier than the OEM stuff. You can save a little weight on hoods and hatches due to the structural changes, but it's hard to make things lighter than Scion does on the rest.
