Zlr doors revealed!!!
 

What's up guys! If you've been following along with the Vertical Door INC kit Special I've been running on the forums, you might have remembered me mentioning a top secret project that Vertical Doors Inc was working on. Here is is in all of it's glory! This kit is extremely sexy and will definitely turn heads.

What makes this different from the 100x other vertical door kits?

Nice!! i like it, can you show us how does it open??

Take a look at the doors and you'll see the difference :)

I just posted a video on the first post brother :)

Sorry...:ack:

Yours work on C6's? I'm missing it...

Not for me but it looks interesting. How much?

dosnt look very parking lot freindly

Yeah, looks cool and functional other than in parking lot. I mean someone would park it away from other cars but the reality is someone is always pulling up close and parking next to us, just to be associated. So then we come out and can't open the door to get in because someone else parked next to us. Now if it could be setup as a dual type opening which would be a mechanical nightmare to design, then you could get around this problem.

look at the angle of the doors. One is going straight up, the other one is flat. :thumbs:

To each their own. If it holds up, it's a unique product and I wish you the best in finding a buyer. I'm not one, but there must be many who are. Do a good job, treat the customer right, put out a quality product, and I think you deserve a big :thumbs: even if it isn't someone's style, it's someone else's.

At the end of this video we have a shot of it opening with the doors in a small parking lot :thumbs:

Clean looking design.

I notice it looks much better opening and closing the doors with windows rolled down.

Do these door open conventionally as well, or do you lose all stock functionality with the conversion?

Are they only for C6?

Here's a little more illustration of how the doors differ from regular vertical doors :thumbs:

I kinda like it. How much will this run?

Looks pretty cool. I like it

Are these really bolt on or is there cutting required?

How about your own garage?

Unique looking but I would need to pull my other car out of the garage to get in and out of my corvette. Great new look for the show car people.

From watching the video, it looks like the OP's doors swing open wider than a Lambo door before swinging up which also appears to give more entry room than a Lambo door.

I would be great to see an overhead video of both style doors to see the actual difference.

nice

Looks like a great product for those interested in it. The doors look like they close (latch) easier than factory ones. :lol:

I like it. But I would need to be able to open the doors in the conventional manner as well. I just don't have the side clearance in a parking lot or my Garage to swing my door out like that. If they had the normal option I would be all over this.

So you can't get in or out of your car if the windows are up? :crazy:

:lurk:

Pretty neat concept, I like it and think it will do well with a lot of the show crowd. How easy is the install and what is the cost.

i did just see your add for these in the corvette mag.

Interesting :cool:

Looks interesting, but just a few concerns.

For one, if the window valet is included, that means it's a must for the windows to go down before the door goes up. Not an issue unless you some how get caught in the rain (I know, it's a long shot but could happen). Also, that means fumbling with the remote every time you get in and out. :ack:

Second, why only at retailers?.. All of the other kits around can be put in DIY style, is there something involved in this one that limits that or is that just a marketing tactic? I for one DIY everything so that definately puts me out of the market and I'm sure there will be others in that group as well. :ack::ack:

Lastly, does it require cutting?.. This has been asked by a few here as well as in the video comments but the answer seems to be avoided. :leaving:





D

To quote my wife: 'Lambo doors belong on a lambo.'

Looks like a clean setup and it'll probably sell well for the show car bunch, but definitely not for me.

:thumbs:

Looks good, I am not the type to like this kind of thing, but I could see myself liking them in person and actually buying the kit.

Watched the video and looks like you have to have the windows open when opening the doors. It is a cool product, but not sure about having to open the windows every time I need to open the doors. The parking space that you had at the end of the video was a pretty big spot. I want to see this in action in a mall parking space.

Ever tried to open an normal door in a tight parking spot? You can't, what is the difference? You park on an end spot, case solved. :yesnod:

I can see these looking nice on a show car. I would not be able to live with it on my daily driver though.

Funny, I noticed all the demos had the windows at least half way down. I mumbled to myself, "better come with a window valet." Then I saw that it DOES come with a window valet. Looks like if your not careful you could catch your ear or head on the window as you get in. I've done that before....catch my ear on the window as I'm getting in....it hurts A LOT.

Seems the doors open and close well...appears the engineering was done well. I hope it does well for you.

Now if anyone wants to make a funny door opener for the Vette that actually has BETTER clearance in a parking lot then copy the Koenigsegg and a lot more people will buy. Those doors actually get OUT of the way instead of getting IN the way.

-D

Very stylish:thumbs:

What's up guys we will be releasing a video in a couple of days hopefully to answer most of your questions regarding the kit. :thumbs:

The windows do not need to be rolled down to open or close the doors. We simply did that in the video for easier access for taller people. We have the kit for the c5 and the c6 :thumbs:

These are bolt on kits which means you can revert back to the factory hinges if you want to do so. Like most vertical door kits minor trimming of the inner fenders is needed. This kit however will require less trimming than standard vertical door kits. This process may sound evasive but it really isn't. You cannot see the trimming from outside the vehicle and you would really have to scrutinize to actually see it from the inside to see the difference. It looks like it came like that from the factory when done properly :thumbs:

This is one of the videos we hope we will be releasing sometime this week :thumbs:

We rolled down the windows for convenience of a taller driver to get inside but they do not need to be rolled down or up for opening or closing the door

im not a fan of 'lambo doors' but that looks badass lol....NICE!!!!

I see now... it looks like you'll hit your head on the window if they're not rolled down. The guy in the video doesn't look like he's that tall, but I see where the glass could definatly be in his way due to the way the doors open... makes sense.

How much trimming is involved?. Also, why no kits for the DIY crowd?.. It's a long drive to CA for me. :yesnod:

I have never seen this style before. different for sure

That price kills it for me. I just can't bring myself to spend $3k on door hinges.

That us a really cool kit. Almost gulwing like while still keeping the hinges in place. I love it!! Not to many door kit fans on this forum but this one is cool and very different. Great work.

Looks cool, looks like great engineering, kinda like a hybrid Lambo/Gullwing. My only issue is it seems that you need more space to open them than standard.

Definitely unique. :thumbs:

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

Proven not

Wow that last video was great for showing space issues. I almost screamed "Noooo!" when he opened the door in the last spot. I just knew he was gonna hit that truck. Great job and look. :rock:

They seem a bit wobbly for the lack of a better term but considering how much weight is being lifted, its not bad. What would be really cool would be to motorize them but that would need a worm-drive plus a floor switch to command it to close. Guess it would need some outside switch as well to close it too. Anyway, something to think about for a next revision.

they look like they obstruct ingress/egress quite a bit tho.

This kit will work on a C6 Z06?

One of the biggest issues that i believe most companies don't want to motorize any type of vertical doors is number one safety issues. Most devices that control lift are "dumb" and don't care if there is a limb in the way or a kid etc...you can imagine how many law suits would be filed against a company for that reason. Another issue is cost. Only a select few would shell out the cash for such a minor convenience that it's not even worth the research and development to produce the kit.

yes it will work :thumbs:

:iagree: That one looked way too tight. Looks like the first and second ones are taken in the same parking spot though, just shot from different angles. Still impressive, definatly shows that they can fit in a tight spot. I wonder what the standard swing of the door is.. might be more than the 36" of this kit.

:thumbs:

That last video definetly increased my confidence on feasibilty for a DD in most places. Very nice door kit!! :thumbs:

Certainly understood and you are correct.

I like them! And I've been to that Wal-Mart. Not in my Vette, in my friends Honda Civic! :lol:


These are the ones I dream of having > Koenigsegg! :smiliedrool::smiliedrool::smiliedrool:

thanks bro! anyone know of a c5 who is willing to leave their vehicle with us for a week to install the kit and take shots of it for advertising purposes? we will sell the kit for a cheaper price including free installation. :thumbs:

Have a great weekend guys :)

pm's replied :thumbs:

Still :lurk:

all pm's replied :thumbs: If you guys know of anyone who has a cadillac xlr local to us here (corona, ca) we wanted to prototype the doors on this car as well. :D

all pm's replied!

Looks nice. I'm in south Florida. Do you ship them with instructions for install? Do you have a vendor in south Florida which are licensed/certified to do these conversions? Thx

we are still in the process of locating reliable installers around the country. Should be ready in the next couple of weeks :thumbs:

bump!

got more customers purchasing this kit check it out :thumbs:

:iagree: Frankly, I'm getting bit tired of this modification. Even Lamborghini seems to have abandoned this concept. Not trying to downplay the quality of your product and I sincerely hope you do well with it, but it seems to me to be a bit late in the product life cycle to be getting into this market. Maybe the "Tuner" crowd still enjoys these, but it's just so wrong to do this to a Corvette IMHO.

This is a forum, right?

granted you are still entitled to your own opinion but these are not standard vertical door kits.

If I drive with the doors open, can I fly?

only if you have a flux capacitor :D

bump to the top!

Don't you hate it when you are 100% wrong. :D
