Default Vertical Doors Inc.

Has anyone ever done this vertical door conversion from VERTICAL DOORS INC. This is supposedly a custom application for my '99 C5.

For one thing, would the fenders have to be removed, wiring to door (memory controls, etc.) lengthened?. Any and all help or info is really appreciated.

Gotta get my winter projects mapped out for our Great NY Winter!!

Thanks guys & gals,
Woody

The Vertical Doors are nice but don't always close correctly. I have the LSD doors on my car and love them. Not too bad of an install and close correctly every time without any effort. I did just become a dealer for the LSD doors so if you are interested in a set lemme know. I was thinking of running a special/installed special on them but haven't got around to doing so yet.

Here are some pics when I did the install on my car a while ago.

Do a search here, some good brands (including LSD) and some not so good brands.

I like the looks of them.

Remember this when it comes to vertical door kits, you get what you pay for. Vertical Doors Inc has nice hinges, but there are some problems with closing the doors. You might send a PM to Z06-JIM. He has that brand of doors on his car. GB VETTE and I both have LSD doors. Personally, I believe they are the leaders in vertical doors. They are not cheap, but they are worth every penny.
