Carbon Fiber roof

Is anyone out there producing carbon fiber roofs? Looking for one for a race car build. Been snooping around and seems to be difficult to find.

Thanks in advance

996CarreraCup is infamous around these parts

Would carbon roof require bonding in addition to riveting since welding would not be an option?

You will definitely need to bod the roof if you choose to also use rivets. In fact typically you may not need to rivet it. Without proper bonding and sealing of the roof, it will leak, a lot!!!!
