Make one. :-)
The only way you can do it with an isosurface would either give the 
strip thickness, so it would have an internal side and an external side, 
or leave a discontinuity where the normal flips.

It should be possible with the parametric shape, in which case I think 
there will still be a discontinuity at the point the beginning and end 
meet. That, or it will always show the "outside" texture. I don't know 
how the parametric calculates normals.
