Too bad you have the C&C tops as nobody i know make them aftermarket
as C&C just used and cut the factory hardtop headliner to fit.
I have the Fisher tops.
If a aftermaket vendor is making them somebody will chime in here.
The C & C T-tops seem to be a good unit. I drilled out the rivets and sent the whole unit off for powder coating when the car was being painted. Looks like new now.
Third gens are rare in Australia and there is really only one source for parts locally, who typically charges triple what you pay over there.
Shipping for small parts is not too bad, but big or heavy parts are a killer.
That $90 part you listed costs $440 (USD 350) here.
Man that's going to suck. Any chance you could find a salvageable original foam hardtop headliner and modify that? Even if it's a little rough, you could coat it in epoxy and maybe some fiberglass.
I also have a C&C. I never thought of removing it to get powder coated. That might not be a bad idea when I get the car repainted next year. I'm about to do the abs headliner thing myself. I was thinking of doing a little shaping of the abs with a heatgun after I make the cutouts to make it blend better.

Your better off getting a piece of luan (1/8 inch or less light plywood board)
rough cutting it then test install and mark the openings.
Cut and trim to final fit.
Then recover with the material you bought.
