Positive. They would be the first thing to go! Those look more suited on a moving truck.

Good Lord! Those side mirrors are half the height of the side windows! Only on a Camaro (with its pillbox-inspired greenhouse) would side mirrors make blind spots worse!

The 'maro restyling (93) went before the 'cavy (95).

I wouldn't be surprised if those tail lights had red flashing sequential lights running around their perimeter. They don't look too out of place - above a slot machine in a Las Vegas casino. Those mirrors... must be GM's take on "M3 mirrors". Yikes! You're doing it wrong.

Yep. The mirrors are a dead giveaway.

Surely this is indeed for the Euro market. Otherwise, that's a pretty darn mild (and ill-conceived) "refresh"...

Previous generation Export Market European Camaros
4th Generation
Look at the long license plate pocket and the provisions for rear position fog lamps and lower reflectors.

Look at the larger break away mirrors and fender mounted turn signals.
 
 

3rd Generation Camaro Z28-E

Note the flag style break away mirrors and bubbled side marker lamp... Notice as well the "brake duct" style front turn signal lamps are required amber instead of smoked clear like USA models.

Note the outboard positioned amber turn signals and center positioned combination reflector/brake/tail lamp. Also note the required lower bumper mounted reflectors and the wider license plate pocket.

Yep, GM will invest in specific parts for specific markets to meet local regulations.

"red ring of death" - you got that right. just kills what ever good looks the car may have had.

It kills the look for Europe bound cars only. You will also notice on the new Euro Camaro that it has square pop out covers on the front and back bumpers for required towing hooks... Not a requirement on American spec models.
