black vs.body-color-matched B-pillars on camaro

[user1101]

Was this a factory option? Why are some 4th gen B-pillars black, regardless of paint color? And on others the B-pillars match the rest of the body?

For the first few years every Z28 got the black pillar with the ttops. Near about 1995 buyers could specify a body color top if they wanted to. It was a no cost option called monochromatic. Many people have told me all v6 cars had body colored hoops, though ive done a little searching at cardomain.com and i found quite a few cars (mostly 97 v6s) with black hoops. Mirrors are always painted the same color as the pillar.

I believe RS Cars (96-97) came with the option of having black painted tops.

Actually that's incorrect. My 97 Non-RS Non-Z28 Non-SS (aka Base model) came with a black B-pillar, black mirrors, and black door locks/handles.

which of these is on your sticker?

D83 PAINT = MONOTONE

D84 PAINT = CUSTOM TWO-TONE

also, im just curious is yours a Y87?

Any other Y87 (w/ttop) owners have black hoops? Any other v6 owners in general have black hoops?
