I wish the rules allowed for enclosing the cockpit like in that pic. That would be pretty cool

I've been looking through the rule book for FP class, is this the section that might refer to not being able to cover up the cab as it might hide the identity of the vehicle?
The hood, hatchback, deck lid and fenders may be lightened or
replaced by ones of alternate material, provided the shape is similar
to the original and does not confuse the identity of the vehicle.
Factory bolt-on fenders may be replaced in their entirety. Cars with
non-removable fenders may replace the front fender panels going
forward from the foremost door opening and the rear fender panels
going rearward from the rearmost door opening. Closed cars must
not remove stock material above the horizontal line placed at the
lowest point of the driver’s door window opening, with the exception
that OE removable panels (e.g., T-tops, targa tops, sunroofs) may
be removed or replaced with panels of alternate material provided
that the dimensions of any replacement panel do not vary from those
of the original by more than one inch (1”; 25.4 mm) in any direction.
The approval of alternate body panels does not authorize the use of
belly pans forward of the firewall or aft of the front edge of the rear
wheel opening. Ground effect tunnels and/or attempts to gain ground
effects are also not authorized. Any such elements incorporated in
the otherwise approved components must be removed or disabled.
