How would i be able to tell the difference between the 93,94,95,96, and 97 models by only seeing the exterior of the car.

When me and my friends are driving around i know the major differences between like the 93-97 and 98-02 and older models, but want to be able to tell better difference between similar years.

 

rear tail lights are different... not sure what year seperates them though.

 

Not much really I get that my car is a 97 all the time even when I had saladshooters on em and its a 95

but only thing really is 97 have the 98-02 tallights and 93-96 have red tails. I just look at the condition of the paint most of the time

 

no real way to tell a 93-96 car.. 97s look almost the same minus the tail lights...

im pretty good at guessing the years.. especally if its a weird paint color.. certain years have different color options

 

97s had different wheels and tail lights.

Base model for 93/94 had "Camaro" where Z28 is usually, on front fender. Although my 94 doesn't.

No vert's in 93.

Maybe able to tell with mirrors and C-pillar, if they're painted or are black.

96-97 SSs are pretty much explanatory (wheels, hood, spoiler)

There's also the RS models, not sure what years those were available.

 

the RS was available in 96 and 97...also there's been talk before about how the sail panel...sometimes there was an option for it to be black or body color or something...not sure though

 

most 94 base camaros did not say camaro where the z emblems where, it was suposed to be a 93 thing but i think some 94s got em. the black top and mirrors was only for the z's in 93 but then it became an option from there on out so those dont say much.

 

rear taillights and the 97's have day time running lamps along w/ different wheels
