Default Differences in Rio Yellows?

Has anyone noticed that on some Rio Yellow S2K's, the area around the winshield is painted black and on others it is painted yellow to match the body of the car. Is this something new for 05??

Thanks for clarifying

-Brandon

Is there any motive for them putting the tape on?
