Danny Demonstrates Chevrolet Corvette C8 Vertical Doors in Lake Elsinore

Danny demonstrates the Vertical Doors, Inc. system on this red Chevrolet Corvette C8 at our Lake Elsinore, California facility. The featured conversion uses part number VDCCHEVYCORC820 and retains the original doors, which open outward first, then raise vertically.

The black interior, dark wheels and rear wing give this Chevy Corvette a straightforward red-and-black look. The photos show the finished door position from several angles, while the video focuses on how the conversion operates.

Watch the Outward Opening Before the Lift

A doors-up photo shows the finished position, but the opening sequence is easier to understand in motion. In Danny's demonstration, watch for the outward opening before the door lifts. These are two separate stages of the traditional Vertical Door Kit's movement.

For owners learning to use the conversion, that sequence matters: open the door to the hinge system's stopping point before raising it. The gas shock assists the lift when the system is installed and adjusted correctly.

Vehicle Fitment

Confirm your Chevrolet Corvette C8 model and model year before ordering. The table below separates the standard Stingray kit from the other traditional Vertical Door Kit applications.

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.

Using the Doors for Entry and Exit

The conversion retains the original Chevrolet Corvette doors. You can use the initial outward opening for entry and exit without raising the door every time. When you want the doors-up position, complete the outward opening before lifting.

Correct alignment and adjustment matter throughout both stages. Follow the supplied operating instructions and contact our team if you have questions about your system's movement.

Planning Your Corvette C8 Installation

The kit mounts at the factory hinge locations, but installation still requires fender removal, non-visible clearance trimming, safe door support, wiring clearance and final alignment. Follow the supplied vehicle-specific instructions. Door position, latch engagement and panel clearance need to be checked through the full movement before the vehicle returns to service.

If these tasks are outside your experience, use an experienced installer. Tell our team about bodywork, wheel size, suspension changes or an existing hinge conversion before choosing parts.
