The Black on the lip is more than likely exposed fiberglass. Between rock chips and other assorted flying debris the lip often gets sandblasted.

Vettes: I went to Raceway Park for Vette Day and entered my car in the show. Parked right next to me was a coup, same year and colors, mines a convertible. Pretty cool! So we were comparing tho two. His rocker panels were all white while mine have a black lip. Also noticed that ZR1 rockers were concave and the same color. Go figure!

Mine was a black lip before my car was painted.

Just an observation, From what I am seeing the the new body style 91 up has a body color painted lip while the earlier L98 have a black lip. So I would guess your both right.
