Active vertical door kit prototype vehicles wanted
A prototype vehicle allows our engineering and installation team to develop a new vehicle-specific Vertical Door Kit for an application that is not currently available from Vertical Doors, Inc. A listing is a request for a vehicle to evaluate, not a statement that a kit already exists or is guaranteed to enter production.
2024 and newer Dodge Charger, STLA Large generation
We are interested in evaluating the new Dodge Charger generation, including the Charger Daytona and the 2026 Charger SIXPACK. Two-door and four-door models may require separate evaluations. Owners must provide the exact model year, body style, trim, and powertrain when contacting us.
2017 to 2021 Honda Civic Type R, FK8
We are actively seeking the discontinued FK8-generation Honda Civic Type R for prototype development. The FK8 was produced from 2017 through 2021 and is different from the current 2023 and newer FL5-generation Civic Type R. Continued enthusiast ownership and aftermarket interest make the FK8 an application we still want to evaluate.

Future prototype watchlist
Possible next-generation Chevrolet Camaro
The sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro ended production after the 2024 model year. Chevrolet has not officially announced a production successor or confirmed a new model year.
Industry reports citing supplier information indicate that a next-generation Camaro may enter production in late 2027 for a possible 2028 model year. This remains unconfirmed. If Chevrolet officially announces and produces a new Camaro, Vertical Doors, Inc. plans to evaluate the vehicle as a potential future prototype application.
Looking for a kit for the existing Camaro? We already offer a Vertical Door Kit for the 2016 to 2024 Chevrolet Camaro. Always review the product page and verify exact fitment before ordering.
Want us to consider another vehicle?
We are using customer requests to help identify future Vertical Door Kit applications. If your vehicle is not listed, submit the exact year, make, model, trim, body style, location, and clear photos. Multiple qualified requests can help us measure demand, but they do not guarantee development or a release date.
Request a Future Vehicle Application
Can every vehicle be converted to vertical doors?
No. A vehicle must have a suitable concealed factory hinge area inside the fender and door jamb. This gives our engineering team a practical location to design and mount a vehicle-specific conversion hinge while retaining the original door.
Prototype vehicle eligibility requirements
Your vehicle may qualify when all of the following apply:
- The exact year, make, model, trim, and body style match a vehicle we are actively seeking.
- The factory door hinges are concealed inside the fender and door jamb.
- The vehicle has no major collision damage or structural repair near the doors, hinges, fenders, or A pillars.
- Aftermarket fenders, widebody panels, door modifications, and other nearby parts are disclosed before the appointment.
- The vehicle can be brought to our Lake Elsinore, California facility for the complete prototype appointment.
- The owner understands that final eligibility depends on an inspection by Vertical Doors, Inc.
