VDCCHEVYCORC820 is the vehicle-specific Vertical Doors, Inc. Vertical Door Conversion Kit for most factory-body 2020-2026 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray models. This type of conversion is also commonly called a Lambo door kit or scissor door kit. The VDI system retains the original Corvette doors, mounts at the factory hinge locations, and creates the traditional VDI door movement: the door opens outward first and then raises vertically.
Manufacturer: Vertical Doors, Inc.
Part Number: VDCCHEVYCORC820
Vehicle: Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray
Model Years: 2020-2026
The 2020-2026 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray already has the low, wide stance and mid-engine proportions of a modern American exotic. The door conversion adds movement that feels visually at home with that shape instead of competing with it.
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 car show, meet, photo shoot, weekend drive, or everyday stop, doors up create a display people notice, photograph, and remember.
The vehicle-specific VDCCHEVYCORC820 system is engineered for the listed 2020-2026 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray application and retains the original doors, creating the exotic Lambo door or scissor door look without replacing the factory door shells.
Your Corvette already stands out. Make the way you open the doors just as unforgettable.

Chassis, trim, engine, drivetrain, cab, body style, and package terminology is provided to help identify the vehicle. It does not expand the confirmed VDI application or guarantee fitment.

Your purchase also includes access to Vertical Doors, Inc. product support. This support is separate from the physical components supplied in the kit.
The conversion replaces the factory hinge system while retaining the original Corvette doors.
To operate the system, open the door outward approximately 12 to 18 inches until it reaches the hinge system's predetermined stopping point. The door can then be raised 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.
This is the traditional Vertical Doors, Inc. Vertical Door Conversion system. It is different from the separate VDI ZLR Door Conversion, which uses a different door 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 support of the doors, body-panel removal, wiring clearance, hinge adjustment, and final door alignment.
If you are not experienced with door alignment, body-panel removal, wiring clearance, trimming, and hinge adjustment, use a qualified installer.
Do not begin installation without reading the complete vehicle-specific instructions supplied with the kit.

However, installation of the Vertical Door system requires non-visible trimming for hinge-arm clearance. If returning every modified area of the vehicle to its exact original 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 👍”
