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.
VDCCHEVYCORC820 is designed for confirmed factory-body 2020-2027 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray applications, including common Stingray trim and package configurations.

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.
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.
The hinge system mounts at the factory hinge locations.
The original Corvette doors are retained.
Fender removal is required during installation.
A non-visible portion of the fender or inner-fender area must be trimmed to provide clearance for the hinge arm.
Wiring must have enough slack and clearance through the complete range of door movement.
Door alignment, hinge stops, gas-shock operation, latch engagement, wiring clearance, and surrounding panel gaps must be checked before the vehicle is returned to service.
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.
