Just kidding....... but if you are referring to the plastic engine cover removal being a safety issue I'd have to disagree. Other mods may be iffy, but it's still a free country, if I choose to drive without a spare or rear seat, while in theory that make the car "less safe", I can deal with the consequences. The arguement that "you pose a danger to others" is hard to fight, staying home and not driving at all will solve that.
What, you actually carry passengers? As far as I am concerned, they can walk. And I didn't have to cut anything, I used the proper tools to remove the bolts attaching the seat belts to the car.

I will seriously say that airbags are iffy as a safety component, anything that has murdered people has to be questioned. In ma though I can't remove them, they don't allow it and plug in a computer to the ports to make sure everything is ok.
