The window does not have to be rolled up or down to open or close the doors. We simply did that as a convenience factor for taller people to get in and out easier.

What is the max height when open? I park in a garage that has like 7'2" clearance....and I usually have max about 24"=30" on each side.

Here's a clip showing that the windows can be rolled all the way up and you can still open and close the door. Also included is a clip at walmart to show you that there is enough clearance for you to get in and out of the vehicle in a parking lot

The kit is a true "bolt on" which means that you can always revert back to your OEM hinges if you ever wanted to. Like most vertical door kits, trimming of the inner fender is required. However on this kit in particular, There is a much smaller area that needs to be trimmed compared to conventional vertical door kits. This process may sound evasive but it really isn't. The trimming is in an area which is not visible from outside the car and you would really have to scrutinize on the inside to even notice that it was done. All of the vertical door kits we have installed, look almost OEM when finished

Cool but way to impractical for everyday use. Looks like the windows must be down to open the doors. Thatll get old fast.

As stated above (with videos), the windows do not need to be up or down for the doors to be closed or opened. We simply choose to roll the windows down to allow for a little more access but as you can see in the video I was still able to slide through with the windows fully up.

The doors go out to about 36 inches. For tight spots, you can hold the door down so it doesn't go all the way up and still be able to exit the vehicle. At midway the doors are very easily controlled as the shocks are not putting much force at that level much like you would control a normal door from opening too wide when your in a tight parking spot.

Sorry, but not my cup of tea. Ever time they open and close it reminds me of a bird flapping its wings trying to take off. If you want Lambo doors, buy a Lambo. Just my opinion and I hope you sell a bunch and make some money.

Yeah I think that's the reason why ZLR doors are unique in a way that they do not follow the standard "lambo" doors configuration.

We are actually looking for a c5 corvette that's local to us who can leave the vehicle here for about one week (hoping to do this next week sorry for the late notice i only found out now) so we can do the install and take pics/vids of it and use it for advertising. In turn we will give you an awesome break on the door kits and throw in free installation.
