i took some plastic from the inside of the body and removed just about all the screws and glued everything together instead. the body now weighs 39.2 grams
in comparison my miniZ nsx gt body on my mr-02 weighs 37.3 grams.
i'm pretty sure i can shave an extra 2 grams if i try.
i do like the new vette body, so as soon as they go on sale for around $20 it's mine.
to get the anodizing off the rims i used easy off oven cleaner. just spray it on, let it soak for 5-15 minutes and it should be clean. you might have to scrub with a tooth brush some stubborn areas but, it comes right off easy.
then you have to polish them because they look pretty dull after.
