But removing all that other stuff in the hatch I’m sure some weight is being saved. Does anybody know of a universal spare tire screw holder that will work with the spare and the screw hole to keep the spare secure in the hatch instead of having it move around freely like other vehicles come equipped with?

I don't track the car, well, maybe a little 1/4 mile here and there...but I could really tell a difference when I removed the rear interior hatch pieces. Plus I didn't think it looked half bad, but then I had these wires everywhere that was kinda killing the clean look of the gutted hatch. So I fooled around, cut and moved some wires and installed some LED lights:

At some point, I will remove that white caulking and have my paint shop re-spray the hatch area a uniform white color
