I used to have some Curana CLite guards which i made carbon stays for. Turned out pretty light and worked for a good couple of years until the guard snapped at the brake bridge. You could easily do the same thing with chromeplastics.
The stays were made from carbon kite rod, JB Welded to the existing metal guard interface (covered in heatshrink). And then mecanno rear stay fixings.
Those Swarf carbon guards are cool (thou £120) but would be even better with carbon stays.
