This IS-F was clearly not painted...

My observation is that this F has a Black OEM Paint Job...

Also, seems to me that this F was clearly & Fully wrapped in Flat Black Vinyl.
(Vinyl Roll on table, vinyl pieces & water on floor and heat gun sitting on tool box.)

It's an interesting look and the good news is that its reversible..

I thought this looks pretty interesting. It doesn't look as good as I thought it would.
that is because it is a terrible paint job and that it is more flat gray than flat black. I like the color of the flat black LFA. I have always wanted a flat black car that does right and not jerry rigged.

Of all the lesbian stereotypes I've heard of this is a new one. Mullets, flannel, L-word DVD box set, Angelina obsession, etc... but never heard of Lesbian Techno. Is it something like Tegan & Sara with added pulsing beat background?

And that IS-F looks like ***. Don't know if it's the lighting or what but it looked more like Matte dark gray than true Matte black like the LFA.

I just saw a Matte black GTR and Gallardo today. Those cars pull off Matte black way better.

No, actually it is because it was wrapped in Flat Black Vinyl ......

It looks like a clay model prototype, not a real car.
