They have an option for 2LT/3LT Mirror has hole so you can see the Blind spot warning.
where the warning lights are visible though a hole. This order option for 1LT or 2LT is available on their website.
That could be true, but remember it overlays another mirror. It would be nice to see this installed on a 2LT/3LT. I will post photos when I receive my order.
Thank you for posting. I was not aware of this product for the C8. I had Sandyeggo's mirrors for my C6 and will order a set for my C8. Sandyeggo Products are well made, promptly shipped and a credit to Corvette vendors.
The only question I would have is how easy are they to remove? For example, if the mirror surface is damaged to the point where it needs to be replaced, do you have to replace the entire GM mirror or can you remove the Sandyeggo mirror and replace with a new one?
They give advice on removal in their instructions.
Downside is you lose the dimming feature and the defogging.
You will lose dimming only. But that's not really such a big deal as the curvature disperses the reflected light anyway. And the added W-I-D-E view is really worth it!
These look like a good alternative to the Paragon mirrors. That said, I just installed the Paragon mirrors and they were not difficult. I lost dimming with the Paragon mirrors and with my 30% window tint, it's not bothersome at all.
OR, just adjust your side mirrors the way they were intended, and Blind Spots are gone!!
This has been debunked already many times. PLEASE don't rehash the incorrect claim that all blind spots are eliminated just by positioning your mirror a certain way. It's simply not true.
The driver side mirror is flat. Its area of coverage is limited by that fact. There is NO position of that small flat mirror which will provide visual coverage of all areas not covered by other mirrors. Those gaps are called blind spots.
The ONLY way all blind spots are eliminated is by having overlapping visual coverage by all available mirrors.
The passenger side is convex to increase the visual coverage for that reason. The law makers in USA decided to keep the driver side flat because people had trouble estimating distance with a convex mirror. In Europe, they decided the tradeoff was worth it to not have blind spots. There actually is legislation pending to allow convex mirrors on the driver side in the USA. Why? Because the small flat mirrors have limited visual coverage.
Yes, of course it’s wider.
“The passenger's side Panoramic Door Mirror is designed with a single reflective stage that is similar to the OEM mirror but with a greater curvature. This provides additional viewing coverage without causing excessive distortion.”
Here is my hack where I inserted a strip of corrugated cardboard around the factory mirror glass to make a nice guide to simply insert the Sandyeggo Designs mirror for proper placement

I just installed my Drivers' side mirror. I just aligned the top edge of the mirror and slowly rotated it down so the 3M tape met the original mirror.
You probably should have gotten the one that has a clear spot in the upper left hand corner for the blind side warning to show through.
My hack shows the original mirror before installing Sandyeggo. I did purchase the mirrors for a 3LT so I have the clear spots for blind side warning to appear
I showed interest in this mirror and topic last week. I ordered one for the driver side only for a 2LT/3LT and it arrived today.
The two photos below show a car next to me to my left.
In the first photo you can clearly see both the front and rear of that car next to me. If needed, I could even tilt the mirror more to the left to see even further left.
The second photo is a closeup showing how the indicators show through the "hole". Note the entire glass is solid front and back and the hole is only in the mirror film and not the glass. This was previously stated by others.
I believe that I will be happy with this mirror providing expanded visibility, but only time will tell.
The only real distortion that I noticed was in the upper right corner of the mirror at the very edge. This is barely noticeable in the close-up photo where you see a blurring of the trees. This distortion should not impact the effectiveness of the mirror.
I do believe that if I wanted to remove the mirror that I would be successful doing so using the instructions on the Sandyeggo website. The 3M tape is thicker than I was originally expecting but it makes sense based on the curvature of the glass over the flatter original mirror. Getting dental floss behind the mirror would be feasible to saw the mirror free if needed.
