Default Black Vinyl Coated S2000

A while ago I saw a picture that someone had of a Black S2000 that was covered in a vinyl rather than painted. Had black wheels with the chrome lips. I think it was parked on a racetrack. Anyone have this pic?

Its the sexiest black s2000 I've ever seen. The texture of the coating is just awesome. Probably sounds weird, but once you see it its pretty neat and practical.

You're not thinking of a car with full dry-carbon fenders, doors, etc. like the C-West race car are you?

I actually like the amber on them. The funny thing is, it is a Japanese car with USDM headlights.

How did they do that? is that a film, or some kind of liquid like paint, but a different material?

That's cool. It doesn't look like vinyl though. If I had to take a guess, I would say it was the same paint Honda used to paint the 919 motorcycle back in 2002. It was called asphault and was flat black like that. Definitely a slick look, but wash it more than 5 times and you start making it shiney. Looks like a stealth bomber on four wheels.
