Ok..... these are like the 6th set of these doors we have done. They open half way then go up. Everything operates like a normal door. And I agree they only look good on the c7. When you see it in person it looks like they should have come that way.

A tasteful update you can pull off on the C7 ZR1 with it's aggressive look. I like it.
