You can take that out...there is also a metal brace in the front near the washer fluid resivor. I think the metal brace is most of the weight..foam doesnt weigh much.

i kept the styrofoam in mine and just removed the metal bar. i didnt want the nose to be floppy. i made a ghetto aluminum bracket that goes along the bottom to connect the bottom of the nose to, and then it has reinforced bars that go up and hold the styrofoam in place to keep the nose in shape. my whole huge bracket probably weighs under 2lbs
