LuxionElite's Chevrolet Corvette C8 pairs a light-colored exterior with black wheels, a rear wing and a Vertical Doors, Inc. Vertical Door Conversion Kit. Our team installed part number VDCCHEVYCORC820 at the Lake Elsinore, California facility in June 2025.
With the roof panel removed and the doors raised, the side view gives a clear look at the cabin and the finished door position. The conversion keeps the original Corvette doors and changes their movement through a vehicle-specific hinge system.

A C8 With the Roof Off and Doors Up
The black wheels and rear wing contrast with the light bodywork without distracting from the Corvette's shape. From the side, the raised door sits above the front wheel while the open roof leaves the cabin in view. The photos also show the car alongside other Corvettes outside our Lake Elsinore facility.

How the Corvette C8 Vertical Doors Work
The kit replaces the factory hinge system while retaining the original Corvette doors. Open the door outward to the hinge stopping point before lifting it. The gas shock assists the upward movement. For entry and exit, the initial outward opening can be used without raising the door every time.
Planning a 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.
