Wasn't that one guy trying to make a heatshield for the TSX? The one who made the battery tie down. Not sure whatever happened to him since he kinda disappeared after that haha.

Yea, it's not like 100 lbs or anything, but for it to be plastic and pretty useless. 15lbs is a lot to get rid of when it comes to gas mileage in the long run. Only thing it does, afaik, is that it doesn't make the engine as loud when accelerating and stop some crap from being sucked in there but that's hard enough as is.
Yea, I am sick of oil being brown every 2k miles when I buy M1 filters and expensive synthetic oil. I would rather keep oil and engine clean and long lasting than keep 2-4 extra HP. Its worth it to me.

I really wanted that dude to make a heatshield and a few others KIND OF supported me, but then he said it was too difficult, he needed a model bla bla bla... The plan failed

I am not sure if 15 LBS will do much to either acceleration or MPG, but if lose that much on the wheels and a few more MPG on pulleys, that sure helps. I would also swap those heavy stock seats for sporty seats. Stock ones weigh like 50-60 LBS if not more. I am serious.
