Build one out of CARBON FIBER, then after you find out all the problems with it, then build a second one. Then sell the second one to me! I would LOVE to see one built out of CF. I'm sure it can be done, and it would definitely be lighter. Cost would be an issue. I agree, I would lkeep it the same shape as the original top and paint it as well.
