If it's not messed up along the edges you should be fine. I know several guys have done this because of hail damage or something fell on it and dented it.

My roof got dented all over when my hood blew up at 120mph. I have a cf skin and it overs it great. Just used a lot of glue along with 3m tape. Since the roof was uneven

It is it's own piece, like a bumper. Most likely its fiberglass with a carbon fiber overlay like the cheaper CF hoods. It should also have something like 3m tape around the edges. Basically that's all you need, you can add glue like the one above did.

As for a link, just google 350z roof overlay.

And as for the hood flying up, probably just failed at 120+mph. This is why race cars have hood pins.

My 350z had a roof overlay on when I bought it. I later found out the roof was dented. I just left it on and I'm not going to worry about it
