You need 2LT or 3LT to get curb view camera, looks like you opted for 1LT

Hmm, perhaps for others but this is a list of he "Extra's You Get With 2LT."
Those in Red are key to me and worth the added cost over the 1LT:

Head-Up Display (needed with today's distracted drivers to keep eyes on the road)
Power Lumbar and Wing Adjustment (need to get lumbar where I need the back support)
Memory Package (makes exit and entry much easier with seat fully back, & up; wheel fully up & in)
Wireless Phone Charging
Heated and Vented Seats
Heated Steering Wheel
Bose Performance Series 14-Speaker Audio System (need extra base, hard to add subwoofer with Bose)
Navigation with Traffic (useful to have speed limit displayed)
Performance Data Recorder
SiriusXM satellite Radio® with 1-year Subscription
Universal Home Remote Sun Visor
Power-Folding Mirrors (C8 84 3/4" tip to tip 79 3/4" folded vs C6 82 5/8)
Rear Camera Mirror (Safety, hard to see enough with center mirror in C7, C8 worse)
Curb View Camera (was backing my 2014 into spots- no need with Grand Sport front camera)
Side Blind Zone Alert (Safety)
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (Safety)
Advanced Theft-Deterrent System
Parcel Nets

To Each Their Own

If you get the 1lt with the PDR and navigation will you get the front camera?

What is the cost up charge for the 2LT? My good friend did not feel the need for the "extras". Thx

Lots of modern life auto conveniences in 2LT that most peeps have in their daily driver. I personally can’t imagine Not getting 2LT unless it’s strictly a track car.

No. It will have the PDR camera, but not the two front curb cameras that come with 2LT/3LT.

Never liked spending the added money on Lt2 but every one I have owned has it. You really want to spring for the added features

Absolutely, GM knows how to package features people want into a package they’ll pay extra for even if they want just one feature. They got me with the rear view camera. There’s a lot of really nice to haves in the 2LT.

My last Corvette was a 1LT (2017) without the front camera.
Never again.

The first time you crunch the front splitter due to lack of curb view camera will be a good part of the 2LT option cost!

Yep my 3LT 2014 C7 didn't have it as it wasn't an option! After scraping the front splitter I started backing into parking slots that had concrete tire stops! PIA!

My current 2017 Grand Sport has the Stage 2 Aero option carbon fiber splitter. That's >$1500 replacement! But the 2LT has a front camera. Use it all the time. My C8 3LT on order has a $4850 Ground Effects option with carbon fiber splitter. Would NOT get that without a front camera!

Reminded of an issue my 2014 C7 and my Grand Sport. The 2014, got too close to a raised brick platform in front of a store, the Grand Sport turned too fast after backing out of a parking slot that was next to end island curb!

On my 2014, solved "Rash" with the addition of a splitter with winglets that covered the scrape!

On my Grand Sport solved the 'Rash" on the small winglet on my Stage 2 Aero by replacing with Stage 3 winglets. However they stick out even further so when backing out of a parking slot next to an end island (or my garage) have to be sure to pull back far enough, BEFORE turning!
