// About this kit

Part number: VDCACL9699
Fits: Acura CL1996–1999
Made by: Vertical Doors, Inc., USA
In the kit: Left and right hinge assemblies, gas shocks, mounting hardware, instructions

This kit converts the stock doors of the Acura CL to vertical lambo doors by swapping out the factory hinges. Each replacement hinge bolts directly to the factory bolt pattern, so there is no cutting or welding on the body, and a gas shock on each side carries the weight of the door and controls its travel up and down. Vertical Doors, Inc. builds the hinges in the USA from domestic hardened steel, on a design patented here as well. The part number for this application is VDCACL9699.

2 Vertical Doors, Inc. lambo door hinges (one for each side)
2 gas shocks
All mounting hardware

Fitment covers every trim of the two-door CL across 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999. Because the whole kit mounts to the stock hinge points, the conversion is fully reversible; remove it and the original hinges bolt straight back on. Each kit ships with an instruction manual, and Vertical Doors, Inc. backs it with free tech support, but we recommend having a professional installer do the conversion using the instructions supplied with the kit.

Shown: a typical VDI kit. Your kit is made for your car, so its exact plate, arm, brackets and shock differ from this drawing.

The door first swings out on the vertical pin, then lifts on the round bearing hub, and the gas shock holds it up: the two-stage motion in VDI's patent (US 6,845,547). Each kit has right and left hinge assemblies, two gas shocks, M8 bolts with washers, shoulder bolts and pins (VDI install manuals); set screw #2 and nut #1 adjust where the door closes. A typical kit, drawn from VDI's Crossfire manual: the plate, arm, brackets, shock and angles differ by vehicle, and each kit is made for its car.
