Default Side Mirrors on camaros

Ok I did a search and could find no info for this question so if it is a repeat I apologize in advance... Why are some camaro's side mirrors painted black and some aren't? My 99Z28 has black mirrors, but I see other pewter z28s with pewter painted mirrors. The same goes for cars of other colors. Whats the deal with this?

2000 and up cars came with side mirrors that were the color of the car. 99 and below came with black.

Not exactly true. Starting in late 95 or 96 it was an option to color match the mirrors. I beleive that option also extended to the fiberglass top.
