VDCCHEVYCORC60508 is the Vertical Doors, Inc. vehicle-specific Vertical Door Conversion Kit for the 2005-2013 Chevrolet Corvette C6. The system retains the original doors and creates the traditional VDI movement: each converted door opens outward first and then raises vertically. This conversion is also commonly described as a Lambo door kit or scissor door kit.
Give Your Corvette C6 a More Dramatic Entrance
The 2005-2013 Chevrolet Corvette C6 already has a distinctive shape and strong road presence. A genuine Vertical Doors, Inc. conversion adds a more dramatic door movement while retaining the original doors.
Open each converted door outward to the hinge system's stopping point to enter or exit, then raise it vertically. At a show, meet, photo shoot, cruise, or everyday stop, the raised doors create a presentation that is easy to notice and remember.
The conversion is vehicle-specific; correct fitment and careful installation matter more than appearance alone.

How the Vertical Door Conversion Works
After installation, open the door outward until it reaches the hinge system's stopping point, then raise it vertically. The gas shock assists during the upward movement. Correct adjustment is essential for alignment, latch operation, wiring clearance, and surrounding-panel clearance.
Installation Requirements
The VDI hinge system is designed around the vehicle's factory hinge area. Bolt-on describes the vehicle-specific mounting design; it does not mean the installation is modification-free. Installation commonly requires body-panel removal, non-visible trimming or clearance work, wiring management, and careful final alignment.
- 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.
- Support the door safely throughout the installation.
- Follow the supplied instructions for hinge stops, shocks, wiring, and panel clearance.
- Check the latch, weather sealing, wiring, and surrounding body panels before road use.
If you are not experienced with door alignment, drilling or tapping where applicable, body-panel removal, trimming, and wiring clearance, use a qualified automotive customization or body shop.
Before You Order
- Verify the 2005-2013 Chevrolet Corvette C6 application, exact body style, and door configuration.
- Disclose prior collision repair, aftermarket bodywork, or modifications near the hinge area.
- Review the current shipping and return policies before purchasing.
- Call Vertical Doors, Inc. at 951-245-8669 when fitment is uncertain.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is VDCCHEVYCORC60508 a universal Lambo door kit?
No. VDCCHEVYCORC60508 is a vehicle-specific application for the 2005-2013 Chevrolet Corvette C6. It is not a universal weld-on hinge system.
Does the kit replace the original doors?
No. The original doors are retained. The VDI hinge assemblies and gas shocks change how the doors move.
Does bolt-on mean no trimming or adjustment is required?
No. Bolt-on refers to the vehicle-specific mounting design. Application-specific trimming, clearance work, wiring management, and final door alignment can still be required.
Can I install this kit myself?
An experienced automotive installer with the correct tools, workspace, and door-alignment knowledge may complete the installation. Use a qualified installer if you are not comfortable with panel removal, trimming, wiring clearance, and final adjustment.
Can the vehicle be returned to factory hinges?
The original doors and factory hinges can generally be reinstalled, but trimming, drilling, tapping, or other application-specific work may require repair if an exact factory restoration is desired.

“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
