I thought it was in 2000 they started the body matched mirrors/tops. All other years were black (I thought)

See sig. Even though my v6 is repainted, it had a matching top. The Z that I have is a 97 so it meets your criteria. I believe the black tops might have only been on Z's though.

I believe in 93-94 all z28 had black mirrors and roof, then in 95-97 it was an option to have color matching mirrors and roof. The headlight buckets and grill area were always black on 93-97 on all models

Click on the 4th gen section, according to that, 95 was the first year for color matched body panels for v8s, doesn't say about v6s though.
