They will probably reskin the roof with an MR roof, or just do the "sunroof delete" by welding in sheet metal-the latter is often done on Porsche street-to-track conversions.

I've heard that carbon fiber makes for a great roof.

We have had a carbon roof made. It's carbon/kevlar blend. The kevlar is there for prevent it from splintering and turning into razor blades in case of an 'incident'. The roof weighs about 10-11 lbs. I have the mold for these the roof and we're going to have them for sale soon.

over a standard roof you should save roughly 10 lbs. We will weigh the stock roof here shortly.
