I ordered 1LT Shadow Gray Metallic with Adrenaline Red. However, since money is not an issue, I have made an effort to upgrade to 2LT with GT2 seats. My logic in part was that at resale the 2LT would be in greater demand.

Order Status 3000 since March: Order modifications are generally not doable at this time. My dealer says he'll try at the appropriate time, whatever that means.

These folks have done some 1LT C8's I've heard for rear views while driving forward:

As far as HUD, it is not up high enough to make it worthwhile for me.

And then everything else comes along for "free".

No rear view camera in a $60,000 + car? That’s ridiculous, imo.

I have a 1LT on order and it's with the Adrenaline Red seats. It's supposed to have the red stitching too.The only thing i would add would be the MSRC which is a stand alone option for '21..Not knowing if my car will get built as a '20 MY car I still may be able to add it to my options if I have to go for a '21..I'm hoping this doesn't happen as I really do not want to wait at 1100 for who knows how long all over again while BGA cranks out the 2&3 LT cars first..

1LT has a rear view for backing up.

Chevrolet does care about your safety and so if you go with the 1LT trim package, you miss out on the goodies above, but your Corvette will be equipped with the UVB HD Rear Vision Camera that serves as a back-up camera.

Thanks guys. Paying it forward from when I got help.

I've updated that thread with tweaks to improve the stability of the apps.

Nice thing is you could theoretically add a front and back camera and just select them through the same app.

edit: Another corollary (I have yet to test) Is you could presumably use this with the 2Lt/Lz grilles with front cameras. Nothing special about the way those cameras work...Just put the right adaptor transformer on the camera power wires to plug into the wireless transmitter...

If it was a daily commute car then 2/3lt would make sense. However, for a weekend cruiser it seems like the money could be better utilized.
Heck, you could almost buy a C5 with the savings

Ordered 1LT after having a 2LT C7. I love my C5 Z06s and they're the epitome of KISS in a sportscar. The heated and vented seats barely worked in my C7 and I never used HUD; even on track. The only thing I'd like to have is memory so I can easily find my positions if anyone else drives the car, but none of that is worth the extra $5K (I ordered my 1LT with nav/PDR). I had multiple students in Corvettes and Camaros with PDR at VIR and I said my next Corvette had to have PDR. No more fumbling around with a go-pro!

this logic makes a lot of sense to me!

for weekend more important to have pdr, wheels, hp, aero, and brakes u want!

I'd like a 0LT, thank you. EVERY version has too much crappola, imho.

A rear view mirror that has to look through 2 layers of glass is standard. The rear deck glass is at an angle too. The upgrade is a rear view camera that is outside of all of the glass by the roof. Again, everything has trade-offs. Night time & Sun behind you, ...can be troublesome with a camera view - drive an RV sometime.

When I was getting insurance quotes from State Farm's online quote estimator before purchasing my 1LZ C7Z06, I noticed they charge about $10/month higher for the 2LZ and the 3LZ, compared to the 1LZ. I suppose they do that cuz that info is in the VIN.

Makes sense, since the 2LT costs over 10% more than a 1LT. The most important option on the 2LT for me is the rear view camera mirror followed by the HUD. I don’t want to sacrifice any visibility of other cars in traffic.

WackyBob,

Thanks so much for your offer!

The rearview camera mirror is cool but not 7 grand cool.

use your side mirrors in addition to the rear view mirror Everything will be fine.

for the people considering a do it your self ability to install a rearview camera setup for around $700 that sounds cool.

Labor time 2 or 3 hours sounds like a slam dunk.

thanks in advance Vetteguy453

Ive already scoped this project out for you and will be doing it myself. Essentially what I’ll be doing with my retrofit is buying a vantop mirror and running the camera to the spot where the 2LT camera would have gone. I’ll be buying the mounting bracket housing from a 2LT and then using the vantops camera in place of where a 2LT GM camera would be. I can’t get my hands on the 2LT mounting bracket housing yet since no GM OEM parts are available but I suspect housing will cost around $200. For Vantop power, I’ll be tapping into power supply from battery and using an auxiliary line to switch mirror on/off when car is switched on/off. You could try and use a 2LT camera but I’ve looked at the wiring diagram and it’s more of a headache then I want to get involved with.

Cost breakdown:
$120 for vantop mirror and camera
$200 for camera housing bracket
$300 for camera housing bracket paint job
$14.99 for a pack of beer during my DIY wiring

Total: $634.99

just to be clear I thought there’s a bumper rear view camera that displays to the Inforainment screen. Just don’t have the rear view mirror roof-mounted one...
