Default vertical door question.

I'm feeling a little James Bond-ish and was curious if anyone made powered veritcal doors (perhaps with remote as well)?

Yes they make them with remote control, motorized operation. There are several that make them. Here is one place to check them out.

Molten....very nice
I also have GT Factory's...my hinges were painted black
I believe GT Factory also makes power ones (mine are not) but I do not know any details about them, other than that they cost nearly $1000 more

I have mixed feelings about my doors though, be absolutely sure that you want them before you get them because if they are not installed properly by someone who has done them on a Corvette C5 before, you will have major, major headaches ask me how I know
