Default 2005 The year of design

because of some boys attitude to others chose of taillight (Lexus) I would like to talk about all the other parts on our camaros (98-02) who design them.
what car was the first with those "camaro" style....and so on.
Let see how much you know about your "specialcamaro".
I think not any of those parts/design come from US cars.

T-Top
Sidemoldning
Halo`s
front end opening
Disk brake
Hood scoop

I dont know about anything earlier.
The Corvette had them in 1968.
T-Tops may have been around earlier, but I can't seem to find anything.

It was designed so long ago and is so common that I doubt anyone bothered to take the credit as being the first to design it.

My guess would be in the 50's or 60's by either an American, German, or Italian racing team.

EDIT:
I found more info:
Disk brakes were experitmented with in the 1890's and werent patented for cars until 1902 by Frederick William Lanchester (England).
