Anything is possible if your wallet can handle it . They are called vertical or lambo doors. Many members here have them. Reputable makers are Vertical Doors, Inc. and GTFactory. Expect to pay approx $2,000 plus labor.

these doors are like lambos, but they open a little differently. they first pop out and then slide to a 90 degree angle. Just watch.

If you want more info pm me and I will give you a few more companies to look at. Please be aware NO MATTER WHAT THEY TELL YOU ROLLING THE FENDERS IS A MUST. There are no "plug & play" systems that I am aware of. If they are honest the company will state that clearly. Price wise expect to pay about 2k for the parts and another 1k to installed. Some systems have TWO gas struts, and there are even options that allow remote control. I have considered doing this to my UY '05, but will wait till I have done all of my performance upgrades. Just research what's out there until you find a product you are comfortable with. Best-o-luck !!!

Read some other posts about the problems they cause and the hassle that comes with them before you spend the money. They look good but, they can be a pain!

thats not a lambo style door! thats a Koenigsegg style door. Very similar, but very different. Its cool to see it in action, kinda space age like.

As far as working for the z, i doubt it. if you notice how thick the door is and how wide the car is its hard to see how itd all fit into the z. The cc's cabin is still a good size, but theres extra room to put the motized parts in there that the z just doesnt have.

if youre gonna get vertical doors, id say go with pigeon wings. That way you can uninstall it relatively easy if you dont like it. I dont like how the gt factory doors open up full 90, i like the pigeon style for so reason. maybe its from seeing kcobeans car look so damn good with them.

what i call pigeon wings are the vertical hinges that dont go up a full 90. Like vertical door inc hinges, like kcobeans car, like the ones you can get off of ebay. I like the movement of out then up as opposed to straight up.
