There's a lot of new folks coming to the forum looking for information and advice. The OP is one of them. How about if we all try to help them instead of the snarky replies?

Nope. You'll want to adjust them by hand like it's the 1970's.

It's recommended that you decide for yourself if you need them as part of the 2LT package or not...

Yes, for some reason we are seeing lots of dumb threads pop up "Should I get this option???" or "Which color should I get??"
And I'm just here shaking my head. It's YOUR car, YOU decide! Unless you're secretly buying C8s for us, and if so thanks in advance but you could have let me know earlier so I could cancel my deposit

Agreed, although I do understand questions about things like Z51, mag ride, and some general trim level questions. Especially if you've never had personal experience with those things there are some high $ choices to be made without any real info.

Now as far as power mirrors go....

There's two different types of "power" mirrors:

DWK Mirrors, outside heated, power-adjustable, manual-folding with turn signal indicators - 1LT

DYX Mirrors, outside heated, power-adjustable, power-folding, driver-side auto-dimming with turn signal indicators - included with 2LT and 3LT

I think you may mean power FOLDING mirrors on the 2LT and 3LT trim levels. "LT2" is the engine designation that GM, in its infinite wisdom, made very similar to trim level names. For me the folding mirrors are essential because I have a narrow garage entry and frequently travel on ferry boats where folding them up helps passengers walking by and me alike. If you have an ample garage entry you may not need them.

Oh come now... I try and help everyone, but there is nothing to answer here. You either feel you need the power mirrors as part of the larger 2LT package decision, or not. Simple as that. I even posted a thread earlier showing them in action! Can't get much more helpful than that.

I think the OP needed more information that what he asked for. See my post and mschuyler's post explaining the different "power" mirrors.

The question of power mirrors is making reference to width of C8 estimated @ 76.1 inches. If this width does not include mirrors being extended then what is actual width?

My mistake. Just joined forum today thinking I could obtain info that would help in purchase of C8. Width still is concern due to my having 3 car garage. Will attempt to look elsewhere for addressing any additional issues.

Mirrors? We don't need no stinking mirrors.

Mirrors only tell you where you've been, not where you're going.

Don't live in the past.

No, please stay, don't let those quick to criticize get you down. There is quite a lot of experience and knowledge here, just ignore the sarcastic flamers.

Don't take things personally. People here are just funning with you, lighten up.

It isn't like they called you Fredo. LOL

I believe the way you asked the question "recommended?" on your OP was confusing.

If you meant "available", yes, the Power Mirrors are part of the 2LT Package.

That information is available in numerous places throughout the Forum.

Welcome to Corvette Forum BTW.

Your loss if you look elsewhere as there are some very corvette savvy folks on this forum. I presume you are smart enough to recognize the helpful responses from the curt responses. You got a couple of good responses, just ignore the others and don’t take them personally.
