Blue Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray Vertical Door Kit Installation | June 2026

This blue Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray came to Vertical Doors, Inc. in Lake Elsinore, California for a genuine Vertical Door Conversion Kit, part number VDCCHEVYCORC820. Our team completed the installation in June 2026, retaining the original doors.

With the roof panel removed and the doors raised, the red-and-black interior is easy to see against the blue exterior. Dark wheels finish the look of this Chevy Corvette, while the conversion changes how the doors move: outward first, then vertically.

The Vertical Door Kit Installed on This Stingray

VDCCHEVYCORC820 is a vehicle-specific hinge conversion engineered for confirmed standard-body 2020-2027 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray applications. It mounts at the factory hinge locations and is manufactured in the USA by Vertical Doors, Inc.

The conversion retains the car's original doors and their existing paint. The hinge system changes their movement, giving this blue Stingray its doors-up appearance without replacing the complete doors.

How the Vertical Doors Open

Open each converted door outward to the hinge system's stopping point, then raise it vertically. The gas shock assists the upward movement when the system is installed and adjusted correctly.

The door does not need to be raised every time someone enters or exits. The initial outward movement provides access before the vertical lift. Proper alignment, wiring clearance, hinge adjustment, shock installation and final testing all matter to the finished operation.

Vehicle Fitment

Confirm your Chevrolet Corvette C8 model and model year before ordering. VDCCHEVYCORC820 is the standard Stingray application. The other C8 models and modified Stingray configurations listed below use VDCCHEVYCORC823Z06.

Contact Vertical Doors, Inc. before ordering if your Corvette has aftermarket fenders, previous collision repair, an existing hinge conversion or other changes that could affect hinge mounting or panel clearance.

Installation at Vertical Doors, Inc.

Our team completed this Chevrolet Corvette C8 installation at the VDI facility in Lake Elsinore. The work involves more than replacing the hinges. Door support, panel clearance, wiring and final alignment all need attention.

Before removing the factory hinges, the original door position should be marked so the converted doors can be aligned against the factory reference points. Installation also requires fender removal, non-visible clearance trimming, hinge adjustment, latch checks, panel-gap inspection and repeated testing through the complete door movement.

Follow the supplied vehicle-specific instructions and use an experienced installer if these tasks are outside your experience.
