VDCCHEVYCORC820 is the genuine Vertical Doors, Inc. Vertical Door Conversion Kit for confirmed 2020-2027 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray applications. The system retains the original Corvette doors, mounts at the factory hinge locations, and creates the traditional Vertical Doors, Inc. movement: the door opens outward first and then raises vertically.
This is a vehicle-specific system manufactured by Vertical Doors, Inc. in the USA. It is not a universal Lambo door hinge.
The 2020-2027 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray already has the low, wide stance and mid-engine proportions of a modern American exotic. The Vertical Doors, Inc. conversion adds a door movement that looks right at home with the shape of the car.
Open each converted door outward to the hinge system's stopping point for entry or exit, then raise it vertically when you want the full effect. At a car show, meet, photo shoot, weekend drive, or everyday stop, doors up completely change the Corvette's parked presentation.
The vehicle-specific VDCCHEVYCORC820 system keeps the original Corvette door shells. You keep the doors Chevrolet built for the car while changing the way they open.
Your Corvette already stands out. Make the way you open the doors just as unforgettable.

The conversion replaces the factory hinge system while retaining the original Corvette doors.
Open the door outward approximately 12 to 18 inches until it reaches the hinge system's stopping point. From there, raise the door vertically. The included gas shock assists with the weight of the door during the upward movement.
You do not have to raise the door every time you enter or exit the car. The initial outward movement provides room for entry and exit before the door is lifted.
Vertical Door Kit vs. ZLR: This product uses the traditional Vertical Doors, Inc. movement, outward first and then upward. The Corvette C8 ZLR Door Conversion Kit uses a different outward-and-upward diagonal movement.
Yes. This is a vehicle-specific bolt-on hinge conversion, but bolt-on does not mean modification-free.
Installation requires mechanical experience, proper tools, safe door support, body-panel removal, wiring clearance, hinge adjustment, and final door alignment.
Before loosening the original hinges, mark the factory position of the door. One useful method is to place painter's tape across the door and adjacent body at several reference points, then draw matching alignment marks across the tape.
These reference marks make it easier to compare the converted door position with the original factory alignment during installation.
If you are not comfortable with door alignment, fender removal, trimming, wiring clearance, or hinge adjustment, use an experienced installer.
Read the complete vehicle-specific installation instructions supplied with the kit before beginning installation.
Choose the installation option that best matches your experience, location, and vehicle.
Mobile installation is available only for eligible products and approved locations. Independent shops establish their own labor pricing, scheduling, policies, and workmanship warranty.
The original Corvette doors are retained, and the factory hinge system can be reinstalled.
The Vertical Door installation does require non-visible trimming for hinge-arm clearance. If restoring every modified area of the vehicle to its exact factory configuration is important to you, contact Vertical Doors, Inc. before purchasing.

Corvette C8 customer experience
See what Real verified Corvette C8 owners say about their Vertical Doors, Inc. experience.
“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.”
This is my second purchase from Vertical Doors Inc., and once again I couldn’t be happier. The quality of their products speaks for itself — everything is well-built, engineered properly, and designed to perform the way you’d expect on a high-end car like the C8 Corvette. The fitment is spot-on, and the end result completely transforms the look of the car.
What really sets Vertical Doors Inc. apart, though, is the customer service. Danny was outstanding to work with — professional, knowledgeable, and patient with all of my questions. He took the time to walk me through what to expect, made sure everything was handled properly, and truly went above and beyond to make the experience smooth from start to finish.
This is my second time buying from them, and both experiences have been excellent. Between the quality of the kit and the level of customer support, I have full confidence recommending Vertical Doors Inc. to anyone considering a vertical door conversion. If you’re on the fence, don’t hesitate — these guys stand behind their product and take care of their customers!
“The job was first class. A great value for the cost and they offer a military discount 👍”
