@boricua_bronx27 + 2023 Dodge Charger (NY ➝ CA) + Vertical Doors, Inc.
Charles (@boricua_bronx27) brought his B5 Blue 2023 Dodge Charger “Last Call” from New York to California and leveled it up with a Vertical Doors, Inc. Lambo door hinge conversion kit (VDCDC11). “Last Call 23” refers to the final 2023 model year (not wheel size) and with the Wolverine full wrap and doors-up stance, it looks unreal parked in front of our Lake Elsinore, CA headquarters.

How Vertical Doors Work
Vertical Doors, Inc. systems are engineered for a controlled, repeatable motion that feels natural once you use it. The door swings outward first (about 12 - 18 inches) to clear the fender, then transitions upward into the vertical position. That means you can still use the car like a car, just with a whole new presence when the doors go up.
- Smooth outward swing → vertical lift
- Daily-friendly entry/exit with practice
- Show-car effect, without making the car a “trailer queen”
Real-World Benefits
A properly installed Vertical Doors kit isn’t just for photos, it’s built for real driving, real parking, and real events. On a big-body sedan like the Charger, the difference hits immediately: tighter spaces feel easier, crowds notice faster, and you get that signature “doors up” moment that makes cameras come out every time.
Why Charger owners love it:
- Tight parking usability: controlled swing then lift
- Show presence: doors-up = instant attention
- Daily drivability: designed to function like a normal door (just upgraded)
- OEM-style operation: dialed alignment so it closes clean
Expert Insights (Install Notes We Care About)
The cleanest installs always come down to process. Before pulling factory hinges, mark the factory door location so you can return to OEM gaps and alignment, this step makes everything easier later.
- Mark factory alignment first: tape + reference marks before hinge removal.
- Inner fender trimming: minor trimming may be required for hinge clearance (typically not visible externally when finished).
- Wiring slack matters: protect the harness and avoid pinch points; wrap and secure properly.
- Alignment & gaps are everything: adjust, test open/close cycles, then lock it down.
- Clearance considerations: don’t reinstall panels until you confirm zero interference and perfect door action.
Installation
And yes, this Charger looks insane parked in front of our Lake Elsinore, California building. The Wolverine wrap, the B5 Blue base, and the doors-up stance are exactly the kind of “pull up and shut it down” energy we love to see at VDI HQ.
If you want the best possible outcome, OEM-style gaps, smooth movement, and a factory-clean finish, installation matters as much as the kit. Our Lake Elsinore, California HQ installs these systems every day, and the same team behind the engineering is the team that can put it on your car with factory-level detail and real-world usability in mind.

My car was the first Corvette with lambo doors 20 years ago and they're still working perfectly.

I was having trouble with my C8 Door after a terrible attempt at install by another company (Eikon Motorsports). I called Vertical Doors and Danny was able to be a hugeeeee help. He got me in right away, told me exactly what the problem was, knowledgeable, extremely responsive, and communicated with me the whole way through. I cant say enough of the team there. I wish I would have come to them in the first place.

These guys are great. They fixed my busted-up knockoff kit that I had done elsewhere with one of their premium ones, and even identified and corrected some other issues the previous installers caused.
Bottom line, they are passionate about what they do, exceptionally good at it, and top it all off with amazing customer service and a friendly attitude.
If you're looking for a vertical door kit, literally stop your search right now because they are the best out there, period.
