different color in "sockets"
i just have one quick question....
every picture i have seen of a iroc-z, the "sockets" for the headlights are ainted black... on the sides and on the bottom. my "sockets" are the same color as the rest of the car. my car is dark red and an 87. i believe this to be the original paint, since it's not in the greatest condition.
anyways, im just curious
thanx

Its a factory change. They are black for the later years. Not sure what year this started. Mine are black.

It's a special paint treatment used on z28's and irocs, my 84 z28 has the blacked out headlight pockets, seen a few rs's with it though...

It was just a way GM could make it look a little bit different than the other camaro's. I prefer the body color 'sockets'.

My car is yellow, but my sockets are black. And my car isn't a Z28, IROC, or RS. Just a SC. I think it was an option of the sport coupes.
