VDCARSX0207 is the Vertical Doors, Inc. vehicle-specific Vertical Door Conversion Kit for listed 2002-2006 Acura RSX 2-door coupe applications. The system retains the original front doors and creates the traditional VDI movement: each door opens outward first, then raises vertically. This conversion is also commonly described as a Lambo door kit or scissor door kit.
Give the Acura RSX Coupe a More Purposeful Show Stance
The 2002-2006 RSX has a compact two-door body, sloping roofline, and short rear deck that make it immediately recognizable as Acura's sport coupe of the period. Vertical door movement adds a stronger visual feature without replacing the original doors or hiding the factory coupe proportions.
The doors open outward first for entry and exit, then rise for display. At a meet, show, photo stop, or finished-garage reveal, that motion creates a clear focal point around the RSX cabin and front fender line.
Whether the build starts with an RSX or RSX Type-S, the conversion should support the vehicle's overall direction rather than rely on generic supercar language. The exact 2002-2006 model year and body configuration remain the basis for fitment.

How Does the Vertical Door Kit Work?
The conversion replaces the factory hinge system while retaining the original doors. Open each door outward until it reaches the hinge system's predetermined stopping point, then raise it vertically. The included gas shocks assist with the weight of the door during the lifting motion.
Proper installation and adjustment are essential for panel clearance, door alignment, latch operation, wiring clearance, and consistent opening and closing.
Does Installation Require Modification?
Yes. This is a vehicle-specific bolt-on hinge conversion, but bolt-on does not mean modification-free.
- Body-panel removal is typically required.
- Non-visible trimming or clearance work is commonly required for hinge-arm movement.
- Additional wiring slack or application-specific wiring work may be required.
- Door alignment, hinge stops, gas shocks, wiring clearance, latch operation, and surrounding panel clearances must be checked and adjusted correctly.
Before loosening or removing the original hinges, use 2-inch painter's tape to mark the door's factory alignment. Place tape across the door and adjacent body at several reference points, including near the hinges and firewall, then draw matching alignment lines across the tape. These marks help preserve the door's original horizontal and vertical position during installation.
If you are not experienced with door alignment, body-panel removal, wiring clearance, trimming, and hinge adjustment, use a qualified installer. Read the complete vehicle-specific instructions before beginning.
Before You Order
Confirm the exact vehicle application before purchasing, especially if the Acura has aftermarket bodywork, previous collision repair, modified fenders, or a non-U.S.-market configuration. Review the current shipping policy and refund policy before ordering and before beginning installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is VDCARSX0207 a universal Lambo door kit?
No. VDCARSX0207 is a vehicle-specific VDI application for the listed 2002-2006 Acura RSX. A similar platform, engine, or trim name does not make another vehicle compatible.
Does the conversion replace the original Acura doors?
No. The system retains the original doors and changes the hinge movement.
Does bolt-on mean no trimming or adjustment is required?
No. Bolt-on describes the vehicle-specific mounting design. Installation commonly requires body-panel removal, non-visible clearance work, wiring management, hinge adjustment, and final door alignment.
What should I provide if fitment is uncertain?
Send VDI the model year, exact model and trim, body style, and clear photographs of the front hinge and fender area before ordering.
What support is available after purchase?
Vertical Doors, Inc. provides fitment, installation, adjustment, maintenance, and replacement-component support. VDI support does not end when the order ships.
“Just an awesome experience today at Vertical Doors! This company takes care of their customers! Thank you for making our son's day. You all rock!”
“Vertical Doors Inc is the original name in the game when it comes to Lambo Doors. I had the pleasure of buying their kit for my 2014 C7. I highly recommend getting the install done by them as the process is quite extensive! They had me in and out in one day. No door gaps to speak of and the hinges feel smooth and strong. Don't try doing the kit at home, let the pros do it for you. They also gave me a deal on some beautiful true carbon fiber skirts made in house! Shout out to their sibling company California SuperCoupes.”
“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.”
Ordered my 2018 SS Camaro kit during the COVID crises. The team worked hard to get my kit to me during this critical time. I am so pleased with the new look. It took my Camaro to a new level. Great craftsmanship and best kit anywhere. - TJ from Florida
