No.. really what you need to do is remove everything you can.
Most people get those Carbon hoods because they reduce front-end weight. You see there is a sweet spot around the engine and front tire area that gives you the most results from weight reduction. I can't recall what percentage that ratio is anymore because I've been out of the racing theme too long.
What you will need to do is learn to use a welding gun. Just cut out metal from the front-end frame as much as possible. Yes this will hurt your front-end crash performance because there will be little between you and the engine. You can also remove the Timing Belt cover and Header Heat Shield for starters.
Something else to do is remove the back seats and put in some lighter front racing seats. When you remove the back seat you can just re-carpet that areas so that people can set back there, just not a comfy as it once was.
You should also think about using lighter rims.
Now if this was a truck you would do the same, only add weight to the back end because you would just sit a spin dust without enough weight. It's a good tip for those that have trucks that live in cold weather to have a few bags of dirt just encase you get stuck in the snow or want to prevent your rear-end from sliding around on ice.
