Look in my garage for ideas...

seats - you need a torx-bit (cant remember size), just unbolt & pull - job done!

Weigh the contents of your glove box and compare that to, for example, a seat. Now tell me if you're asking daft questions

The answer is yes - saving weight makes your car quicker. However the car weighs over a tonne, your headrests are not a large percentage of this!

You need to be more brutal with such an approach to really see a difference.
