probably a good 50 pounds, if you've removed your back seat and spare, then you might as well take it off

but if you ever have to tow something you'll be kicking yourself

50 pound or 22.6 kg is weight, i dont need, i have a 26KG subwoofer-box&amp attached in the boot. I dont remember where but i saw a post of a guy taking it off and said the car didnt drag the rear as much, and felt lighter. If you look at it it does look large and quite heavy. It also looks ugly drom the back.

thanx for teh info ppl .
