Side Mirrors
Love the c7, but wish the side mirrors were slimmer and with a thinner mounting arm. Sort of like some of the Aston Martin's . Are there any aftermarket mirrors available yet?

From: Calgary, AB. There's a reason why white was the only color offered on every year Corvette. Proud Canadian German Jamaican!

funny you say that, we took in this '06 AM Vantage, I was looking at the sideviews on Wednesday, it has two thin arms holding it to the door and I was thinking why can't Corvettes have that.....

At least, no need to pay for the Z07 package! With those mirrors, downforce is maximized...

I just want my mirrors to consistently return to the memory preset position after I reverse.

If you go into your settings you can turn off the mirror tilt when backing up. Only a bandaid...

Your mirrors do not return to their previous position after you reverse? Mine do.

Mine don't either - I went to my local dealer and he was at a loss for the fix.
