Default 69 Camaro SS headlight bezel / bucket

Hello folks-
Restoration question

69 Camaro SS 396 but not style trim option so no drip moldings, no headlight trim, no vertical chrome on the tail lights, no wheel opening trim, but does get chrome gills, and rocker spear please confirm that for me.

Additionally, black grill for SS what color are the head light bezels? I keep seeing a both sliver or black on the same color car.

Car color is Fathom Green, no vinyl top.

Thanks!

The SS 396 X66 all got the quarter gills. And I believe many ??? X66 cars got bright headlight trim as well, as did my old X66 Camaro based on a vintage Polaroid photo.of the car in 1970.
Headlight bezel same color as the grill.
Rocker spears all Camaros I believe.

The only difference between a X22 & a X66 is the wheel lip & the rain gutter chrome. It got everything else BECAUSE it's a SS like Mike says. Bezels are black w/ chrome..Joe

Ditto. My X66 came through with quarter louvers, chrome trimmed headlight bezels and the vertical chrome on the tail lights. No wheel opening trim or gutter trim.

I have most dealer ordering info for 1969 Camaro. You really have to dig to find the bright head lamp and tail lamp trim as they are not mentioned anywhere in dealer ordering info. Both are listed as included with Z21 and Z27 in the September 1968 General Information. However it didn't always happen. Joe Oldham's famous black Camaro SS was not built with headlamp bezel trim.

Headlamp bezels are always the same color as the grille.
