Thanks all! Yep, the power still works on the mirrors. The connectors are different, but the main wiring is still compatible (the 'vette does have a lot of extra connections).
Just required a little fabrication for a bracket inside the door to support the mirror, and a plate to cover the hole for the stock mirror...

Looks good. Nice choice in mods and can't say I've seen the C5's mirriors done before. I would have stuck with the stockers, but still looks good and is unique.
