I believe the "Gurney Bubble" in your photo is more related to the helmet of the driver not limited by the roof height. There is another design for the rollbar. If I can find my photo I'll send it to you if you email me. I think there is a hardtop in in design for your car.

the hardtop has its highest point above the driver,
depends also if riding on normal street seats or racing seats, the racing seats maybe 3 or 4 " lower...
