Funny stuff. I haven't seen a kit but I'm sure there is one out there somewhere. The proper way to remove your sunroof is to cut off the roof and weld on a non-sunroof version. It's not as big a deal as is sounds although not a DIY for most of us.

Jim is right about how to do it properly. Actually the roof skin is not expensive at all. Commonly done by the club racers to get rid of the paperweight on the roof.

I went with a CF roof panel and a headliner from a junkyard.

I found the FULL sunroof delete kit on isle 69 between the muffler bearing grease and the blinker fluid.

Mine had to come out when the cage went in, so they just welded on some bars for the roof part to screw into.
