Default driver side mirror

Hello. I have an 04 coupe with one of the cursed auto dimming driver side mirrors. I have already put one on it . What I am wondering is if the regular mirror will fit on there. I never use the dimming function. So I was looking at getting a new mirror glass piece for it. Does any one know if the mirror without the auto dimming will fit. 12530715 is the part number I am looking at.

I have a '03 and was considering replacing the auto dim mirror when mine failed. The cost was crazy. Here is what I ended up doing. It is okey. PS I also have a Chevy SSR but their mirrors seem superior to Corvette, possibly a different manufacturer?!

Thanks for the link. I really wish Chevy had made a better mirror. I'm still thinking about getting the glass piece off a c5 without the auto dimming that way I don't have to worry about it and I still have the heated part. I drive mine in the snow so that's a pretty big deal for me lol.

For less than $200 you can replace both sides with Muth Signal Mirrors (with or without heating elements - or just the driver's side mirror for about $100). I installed mine years ago and one of my favorite mods - really a great safety upgrade!
