I believe CCP make the fiberglass parts sold by Treasure Coast Miata. So looking at their hardtops will give you a good idea of the mounting.

They're sold unfinished, which means no weather seals, mounting is up to you to figure out and it will need to be fitted to your car and lightly prepped prior to painting. You might be able to fit OEM latches with some effort but most people are using Spec Miata style brackets and/or turnbuckles. While CCP proclaim that fit and finish is good for race-quality aftermarket fiberglass part, the final quality is up to the skill of the installer. Thus, if you're not an experienced bodyshop technician and have never custom fit an aftermarket fiberglass part before then your expectations might fall short if you want OEM like fitment. For the street nothing even approaches the quality of the OEM hardtop. For the racetrack, I would definitely use a CCP lightweight fiberglass top but my expectations would be modified accordingly.
Remember, many race cars don't even have side windows to keep water out so even if you spend a lot of time and effort on weather sealing don't expect it to me much better than your average 1960s British car.
I looked at a track car this week that had a Treasure Cost hardtop. The quality looked good but the rear frankenstein bolts weren't attached and there weren't any side rubber pieces. With the window up, there was about an inch gap the whole way around. Not a big deal for a track car but for a DD, it would require a bit of work to make watertight.
If I wanted a hardtop, I'd buy a truck.
Looks good, is he making vented hoods now too?
