Side Mirrors Hey fellas! I'm looking at purchasing an LS1 Camaro in the next couple months. In my searching, I found that some come with black side mirrors, and some match the paint. Am I correct in assuming that '98-'99 have black mirrors, while '00+ have matching mirrors? Any other differences between them? Thanks a lot!

Re: Side Mirrors I read an article not too long ago in "GM High- Tech Performance" that states the Camaros bound for europeon delivery came with break-away mirrors. Does anyone have these on their machine? Are the available in the U.S.A. ?

Re: Side Mirrors Oh and some cars have color matched loops. The painted part that covers the hatch hinges and is behind the t-tops! Audio options chaged allot in the years but I don't know the details.

All of these items look extremely goofy and out of place on the cars. The breakaway mirrors look like elephant ears, they do not flow with the lines of the car, they look like they were a glued on afterthought... plucked straight off a VW Jetta.

01-02 came with:
Truck cam (more low end torque)
!EGR
LS6 intake
revised computer programming
Z06 type clutch (some parts, not all)
Different MAF sensor
02's got the revised valve guides or rings (can't remember now which one) to help with oil consumption.
