you might want to call Algie Composites here in Columbus. Don't know if they will do such a small order though.

Yea but that would require pouring foam over the roof, and that foam is very messy. It also let off cyinide (sp?) gas. I geuss it wouldn't be that hard but I was going to try and keep the foam out of the interior of the car because of the mess and gas. I could try shaving a regular sheet of foam to see if that would work. That won't be for a couple months though.
