Never heard of one and it's not my cup of tea. But I would be interested in the answer nonetheless

Well i found the ones on Ebay they are from astrotops, and aparently they are replacements on original frames, but i think they are too exspensive considering I could get a Hood for just as much maybe the shipping would be higher but everyone would notice more the CFhood than the Top. Thanx alot!!

umm actually I have the glass top in fair condition but i was looking to start upgrading the looks of my car. But I had hoped that the CF piece wouldn't be too expensive because of its size and compared to a standard CF hood I think its pretty pricey. Although I did like the looks from the ones on Ebay.
