i'd guess cross members are no longer there, give it a few weeks at most till it folds up.
Carbon fibre is either expensive or weighs similar, other option is alloy bonnet if you can fidn one

That's a decent weight to get it down to. The Seibon Dry Carbon weighs 4.1kg. The shiny carbon will weight more but will be cheaper than the dry.

basically hacked all the internal structure out, so it's pretty much just the outer skin, hinge and hook mounts and the hinges and hook. i added some extra glue under the mount plates
forgot to mension the weight was with a carbon vent in place of the scoop and standard side vents
