Question Weight estimate for my GS430 L-Tuned

Hey, guys. I'm finally getting around to a proper calibration for my G-Tech Pro Competition to try to turn in some "real" numbers, and the main outstanding variable is weight. I know the stock unladen weight of the car is 3,715 lbs. I also know that I need to add my own body weight and the weight of the gas in the car (calculating at 6.88 lbs/gallon; anyone have a better #?).

What I don't know is how much my mods have changed the weight of the car. I have the L-Tuned 18" wheels, exhaust, and suspension, and I have TRD sways and a lower chassis brace. Just for the sake of completeness, another mod that doesn't add significant weight is the L-Tuned steering ECU.

Anyone have good estimate for the weight of my car to get good reports from the G-Tech? Right now I'm planning to ballpark ~4,100 lbs.

Thanks!
Scott

I can't remember where but I read awhile back that the 18" OZ Salinas are about 27 or 28lbs. If I find the exact number, I'll fix this post.
