Default Seat Air Bags?

Are the seat side air bags standard on 2008?

The funny thing is that I did not find it as an option when I ordered the car. . . and the "build" area on chevrolet.com does not have that as an option either. . . . but I thought I saw pictures of a seat that said it had side air bags. . .

I think the 2LT option includes the side airbags. I know the 3LT option does. Of course, if it were a convertible, 2LT is the base option.

EDIT: I just looked at the 2008 order book and side airbags are not standard on the coupe. They do come with the 2LT and 3LT options. They are standard with the vert.

Far as I know side airbags aren't standard on the C6 except for the convertibles.

You have to order the 2LT or higher trim level for coupes, the vert is already starting at 2LT.

Nope, side airbags are not standard. You need to order a 2LT or above to include the side impact airbags. Here is a listing of the option breakout for the 1, 2, 3 and 4LT PEG.
