It's done! I brought her home on Monday. Excellent work by my installers Paul and Kevin, I'm glad that I chose them. All panel lines and gaps are straight and even as they were before the mod. The doors open easily, lift and close smoothly, and seal properly when closed. No aluminum was cut, no welding, the kit was bolt-on and is completely reversible. The doors open maybe half way (enough that I can get into the car that way if I so choose) and then they lift. The look of my C8 was stunning before, even more so now. This mod isn't for everyone, but it works for me and I like it. Last thing will be the Torch Red and Carbon Flash engine cover from American Hydrocarbon and she'll be done.

It took 4 days, but because of my work schedule I missed taking her to Carlisle, couldn't get her until Monday. The folks at the shop offered to send me pics daily, but I said no, you can send me the pics of my car disassembled after I see the finished product. I know, gutless, but what the hay, lol. The owner of the shop Paul and his son Kevin are both Corvette lovers, Paul had a ZR1 and Kevin's got a wicked orange C7. The thing that I really liked was their obsessive attention to details, and the fact that they'd done many of these conversions, and were passionate Corvette specialists. They were also the installers recommended by the manufacturer of the door kit. I'm very pleased with their work 👍👍👍Torch Red, Z51, 2LT, Mag Ride, E60, Adrenaline Red/ Two-Tone GT2, CF goodies

The install price is what scares me away. I got in contact with them and they were great to deal with; but my local shops didn't have much experience and couldn't quote (understandably).

I've been toying with the idea myself. I doubt I will actually do it, but I think it looks cool as Hell on your car. Eikon is in Scottsdale, AZ which is only about 20 min from where I live. Who knows, I may break down and have it done...LOL
