It wasnt even an option in the 3rd and 4th gens.. if ever... I dont know about the second gens though.

They might be talking about a T-top or T-bar roof. I guess you could construe that to be a sunroof in an add if you dont know what your talking about.

not factory. hardtop, t-top, or vert were the only factory options. i would steer away. that means the center structural bar has been cut

I saw on E bay before they make fake sunroofs, its like a sticker makes it look like it has one but it dont could be put on this car, I dont see how you could cut the center beam on the car and still hold its structure the proper way.

Looks out of place IMO I am glad it wasn't an option.....and hopefully it won't be on the 2010 Camaros

I totally agree! Otherwise, your melon is basically shielded by only glass and plastic.

Of all places, I've seen an LS1 f-body in Toronto with... a sunroof... I dunno if that guy lives in the area, but next time I take some classes there I'll be sure to take a pic.

As a note, a sunroof is one of the dumbest looking things one can do to our cars. It's either t-top or convertible... what this owner was thinking... dear lord...
