// About this kit

Part number: VDCCHEVYCOR9704
Fits: Chevrolet Corvette C-51997–2004
Made by: Vertical Doors, Inc., USA
In the kit: Left and right hinge assemblies, gas shocks, mounting hardware, instructions

The 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette C5 sits low and wide, and vertical doors suit it: instead of swinging out into the next parking space, each door pivots forward and rotates upward on a Vertical Doors, Inc. hinge. This kit covers every C5 from 1997 through 2004 and fits all trim levels, including the Z06.

Part number VDCCHEVYCOR9704 includes:

Two Vertical Doors, Inc. lambo door hinges, one for each side
Two gas shocks
All mounting hardware

The hinges are a direct bolt-on and mount to the factory bolt pattern, and the whole conversion is reversible if you want the car back to stock later. VDI builds the hinges from domestic hardened steel in the USA, and the design is patented. One C5-specific note: the front lip of each door needs trimming, with touch-up paint on the inside edge; the outside of the door is not affected. A patient owner with basic tools can handle it, but we recommend having the kit professionally installed, following the instructions supplied with the kit.

The door first swings out on the vertical pin, then lifts on the round bearing hub, and the gas shock holds it up: the two-stage motion in VDI's patent (US 6,845,547). Each kit has right and left hinge assemblies, two gas shocks, M8 bolts with washers, shoulder bolts and pins (VDI install manuals); set screw #2 and nut #1 adjust where the door closes. A typical kit, drawn from VDI's Crossfire manual: the plate, arm, brackets, shock and angles differ by vehicle, and each kit is made for its car.
