Default GT2 RS carbon pieces - now painted black?

Of the few delivery pix on the Internet (see Teamspeed), it looks like the carbon pieces of the GT2 RS are now painted black?... Still made out of carbon, just painted. Can anybody confirm? I can't see the weaves anymore whilst for the test/demo cars, you could clearly see the nice weaves. Thx!

You mean the Dubai car? http://www.alainclass.com/gallerys.php?gal_id=981

Don't worry I think they look same if you download the hires photo its a match with this from presentation also shot in interior light.

The white/gold combo in the first link looks the best. Definitely the way I'd order it.

Yeah, the Dubai car and also this:

I'm hoping it's just the lighting. Because if it's painted over ~ I'd prefer it to be body color. hehe

Nick,
rule of thumb, don't second guess thing that doesn't make sense.

You never know with Porsche. Mike S. confirmed it's just the lighting. Need close-ups to see the weave.
