you could mill a TON of weight out of that aluminum plate, maybe on all 4 you could remove a lot of it and be able to put all 8 original wheels back in. just a suggestion
The loss of structural integrity compared to the weight gained is not worth it.. WE milled out 1 fork panel.. ( more like speed wholes.. but they were big ones :-\ ) and we lost less than .1 lbs

I don't disagree we could use some weight. But when it comes down to it.. its not really a ton

It was barely noticeable
