Mine are color matched.

At least they are not all bubbles like the roof is. Yes, I had to go there.

Nah, pretty sure its just the 98 and 99 cars got the black mirrors/roof.

My 95 Z is black roof and black mirrors... I dunno, I was told by many people and dealerships that all V8 Camaros were this way...

If you have a certain RPO code (forget which one), you have body-colored sail pannel and mirrors. It was an option on all 98+ F-Bodies. I don't know about LT1 years, but I would bet it's the same.

The Sport Appearance Package (Y3F) was ground effects. Has nothing to do with sail pannel and mirror color.

I would rather have black than body colored, and am glad I do.

I have the RPO code for "color matched mirrors" however the sail panel is still black (which I'm getting painted to match also). I hate black mirrors on anything other than a black car, although it looks ok on pewter too.

Mine are black with 5% tint all the way around, I like the all black top look.
