The two most popular here on the forum seem to be the kits made by Vertical Doors Inc. and GTF Diablo
I installed the Vertical Door Inc. kit a couple weeks ago and happy with it so far.
If you do a search you'll find a few threads, and some controversy, about the different kits.
Here's a couple links to some threads:

Many previous threads on this topic--if possible, a search will give you much info. Basically, from all the threads I've seen, people who have done the mod love the look but nobody has gotten the doors to function well (hinges are weak and the door doesn't shut right or it sometimes clangs against something metal if it isn't closed exactly right.... and the installation has almost always required cutting...

i agree on the 2 brands Z06 JIM mentioned. I happen to have the GTF Diablo kit. It is a pretty nice kit. Just BE CAREFUL on the install and make sure everything lines back up right. I wouldnt reccommend it for a Daily Driver. good luck

All in all, its a good investment if you like the style, it is practical in a way where if you park in a parking spot, you dont need to fret about hitting another car with your stock setup because the doors on the vette seem to swing out a lot. My final verdict, dont order from Vertical Doors Inc. cos they dont know what their doing. Customer service is HORRIBLE; their product i would rate 6 / 10; and price is unreasonable. (Paid $2100.00 US for the kit, and $700.00 for shipping and reshipping fees)
