VDCCHEVYIMP1418 is the Vertical Doors, Inc. vehicle-specific Vertical Door Conversion Kit for the 2014-2018 Chevrolet Impala Sedan. The system retains the original 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 Your Chevrolet Sedan an Unexpected Show-Car Edge
The 2014-2018 Chevrolet Impala Sedan combines full-size sedan proportions with crisp, modern body lines. Vertical-opening front doors add an unexpected show-car detail to a platform many people do not expect to see transformed this way.
Open each converted door outward to the hinge system's stopping point to enter or exit, then raise it vertically and completely change the vehicle's parked presentation. At a show, meet, photo shoot, or ordinary parking stop, the raised front doors create the kind of surprise that makes people look twice.
The vehicle-specific VDCCHEVYIMP1418 system is engineered for the listed 2014-2018 Chevrolet Impala Sedan application and retains the original doors, creating the exotic Lambo door or scissor door look without replacing the factory door shells.
A familiar sedan can still deliver an unforgettable entrance.

2014-2018 Chevrolet Impala Sedan Fitment

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. Proper installation and adjustment are essential for door alignment, latch operation, wiring clearance, surrounding panel clearance, and consistent opening and closing.
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 job is modification-free. Installation commonly requires body-panel removal, non-visible trimming for hinge-arm clearance, wiring clearance, and careful final alignment.
- Document the factory door position before removing or modifying the original hinges.
- Support the door safely throughout the installation.
- Follow the supplied instructions for hinge stops, shock installation, 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
- Match the exact year, model, body style, and door configuration.
- Review the current shipping and return policies before purchasing.
- Call Vertical Doors, Inc. at 951-245-8669 when fitment is uncertain.

“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
