Just out of plain curiosity, what is the difference between the 1995 body style 5.6 liter Z-28 and the 3.4 Liter v-6 Camaro? I mean, i know the Z has the trademark Z-28 stickers, but in terms of overall body style, if i got a Dual Exhaust on there, perhaps a Ram Air kit, and buy the Z-28 stickers am i okay? Or is there more to it? Lastly, my car has 168k on it, i bought it for 1500 dollars, is it worth it? How much Horsepower does the stock 3.4 V6 have? Thanks alot guys...

In that year, the stock 3.4 had around 190-200 hp (I have a book on all makes/models of Camaro, but I'm at work right now). You mentioned the obvious differences - cosmetic. The Z28 has Z28 badges (not stickers - this isn't a Civic...), dual exhaust, and maybe different wheels (although I think they all had the "salad shooter" wheels in 1995). I remember on one year, there was a difference in the way they painted the tops of the cars. Basically, if you have a white V6, the whole car was white, but if it was a Z28, there was a part on the top (perhaps the top and the posts? can't remember) that was always black. Maybe that was the T-top modes... I can't remember.
Basically, the average person is going to recognize a Z28 by its badges, exhaust (dual), and sound, if it is running.
PS - Please don't make a Z28 clone. As cheap as the 1993-1997 Z28s are, just buy a used one instead. That way you get the power that goes with the badge.

It wouldn't take much work to make them look the same.
Besides the items listed in your question you may wan't to look at the bumper covers and side scirts. Some six cylinder models may have them, but the plain base model may not. Also tire / rim size may vary. However one thing you can't fake is the sound.
Other little goodies you cant see: Beefey positraction rear end, 5.7 L engine, heavier springs and sway bars.
If the body isn't rusted or bent, of course it's worth $1500.
Being pre-1996 model year leaves you open to do a lot more custom modifications in most states. Here in New York all ODB-II cars have to be plugged into the state inspection computer anually. That signals the death of the big cube engine swap. But if you have a 1995 or older model year, you could take out the stock four cylinder, and put in a top fuel funny car motor. When you go to have it inspected, nobody's gonna say boo.
That 95 may be worth more than you think!
As for the last part of your question, "stock 3.4" Not enough!

The Z-28 is 5.7 liter, and in 95 the LT1 was putting out 275 hp stock. Differences between the Z and the 160hp 3.4 Liter V6 Camaro on the outside were the rectangular dual exhausts, black out roof and mirrors, and Z28 badges on fenders and rear.

don't do it for a lot of reasons.
1st if your can does't have a v8, then don't advertise one.
2nd your car has 168000 miles. don't drop a dime into it unless it's to keep it running.
to answer your first question, there are no differences in body styles that i know of.
