Ask JavyLSU.

He's one of the moderators, and the originator of the black roofed 2IS.

Yep, vinyl or painted.

As for the photo above, that's not Javy's 2IS.

I saw it in person last weekend. It looks really sharp. There are so many 2G IS out there so it's good to see something different.

Agreed.. at least Scion is functional.. And while we're on the subject, if it was CF it would be different.. for weight savings and looks better IMHO.
