Some installs are about performance.
Some are about aesthetics.
And some are about something much bigger.
This one was about quality of life.
When Vertical Doors Become More Than Just a Modification
Terry Ginger stopped by Tint World in Concord, California, one of Eikon Motorsports’ proud retail partners. While there, he saw something that immediately caught his attention — owner Larry Tonti’s C8 Corvette equipped with the Eikon V2 Series Vertical Door Kit.
For Terry, this wasn’t just about how incredible the doors looked.
Terry has some pretty severe mobility issues. Getting in and out of a C8 Corvette — as stunning as it is — can be physically demanding. The low seating position and traditional door swing were becoming a real challenge for him.
He shared that he was actually considering selling the car.
Until he saw Larry’s V2 setup.
In that moment, everything changed.
From Decision to Installation in Just 3 Weeks
Larry at Tint World worked directly with Terry to get his Flare Edition #7 V2 Series kit ordered and scheduled. From the day Terry decided he wanted the doors, to the completed installation, the turnaround was just three weeks.
That’s the power of having a committed retailer who believes in the product.
Tim from Eikon Motorsports personally traveled to Tint World Concord CA to perform the installation. As expected, the install went flawlessly. The geometry aligned perfectly, the sealed roller-bearing hinge system operated friction-free, and the final result looked absolutely stunning.
But the most important moment came afterward.
The Moment That Matters
Before Tim left, Terry arrived to pick up his C8.
It was immediately clear — this wasn’t just a cosmetic upgrade.
Tim was fortunate enough to meet Terry in person and witness something special. The improvement in Terry’s ability to get in and out of the car was dramatic. The vertical door arc provided significantly more clearance and a more natural entry angle.
More importantly?
You could see the happiness on his face.
That’s what makes this business worth it.
The V2 Series didn’t just transform the look of the car — it gave Terry the ability to comfortably keep enjoying a vehicle he loves.
The Flare Edition #7 V2 Series
This install featured the Eikon Motorsports V2 Series Flare Edition #7, engineered specifically for the C8 Corvette platform.
Built using:
- Billet T6-6061 aluminum brackets
- A36 structural-grade steel arms
- Sealed roller-ball bearing pivot system
- Precision gas shocks
- Serial-number-matched components
The result is a vertical door system that lifts higher, opens smoother, and maintains factory alignment integrity.
And in cases like Terry’s — it can be life-changing.
