2015-2023 Ford Mustang Vertical Door Conversion Kit
Vertical Doors, Inc. VDCFM15 is a vehicle-specific vertical door conversion kit designed for the
2015-2023 Ford Mustang. The system retains the factory front doors and changes their movement so
they open outward first and then raise vertically for the distinctive Lambo door / scissor door look.
Designed for the sixth-generation Ford Mustang (S550), this VDI system provides a purpose-built
hinge solution rather than a universal weld-on conversion. Confirm your exact model year and body style
before ordering.
IMPORTANT FITMENT INFORMATION
This is a vehicle-specific VDI application. Before ordering, confirm that your Mustang matches
the application listed above.
- 2015-2023 Ford Mustang
- Sixth-generation S550 platform
- 2-door configuration
- Fastback or convertible — confirm exact body style before ordering
If your Mustang has aftermarket fenders, widebody components, custom bodywork, previous collision repair,
replacement hinges, or modifications around the hinge/fender area, contact Vertical Doors, Inc. before
ordering to verify compatibility.
Match Your S550 Mustang With Vertical Doors
The S550 Mustang brought a lower roofline, wider rear stance and modernized chassis architecture while retaining
the long front doors that define the Mustang's coupe profile. A vertical door conversion adds a dramatic custom
appearance while allowing the factory front doors to remain in place.
The VDI system is designed around the vehicle's factory hinge area and provides the hardware necessary to convert
the front doors to vertical operation.
The application may be relevant to Mustang configurations including EcoBoost, GT, Bullitt, Mach 1 and Shelby models
within the listed model-year range; however, trim name alone does not establish fitment.
Always confirm the exact vehicle configuration and body style.

What Comes With the VDCFM15 Kit?
- One driver-side Vertical Doors, Inc. hinge assembly
- One passenger-side Vertical Doors, Inc. hinge assembly
- Two gas shocks
- Required mounting hardware
- Vehicle-specific installation instructions
The system uses the Mustang's original front doors. The VDI hinge assemblies and gas shocks are installed to
change the doors from their original movement to vertical operation.
How Do the Vertical Doors Work?
Once installed and properly adjusted, the Mustang door opens outward in the normal direction until it reaches
the hinge system's stopping point. The door can then be raised vertically.
The included gas shock assists with the upward movement. Proper installation and adjustment are important for
smooth operation and proper door alignment.
Important: Always verify door alignment, latch operation, wiring clearance, weather sealing and
surrounding body-panel clearance before operating the vehicle on the road.
Installation Information
Although the VDI system is designed as a vehicle-specific mounting solution, bolt-on does not mean
modification-free. Installation requires careful disassembly, installation, adjustment and clearance
work.
Installation commonly involves:
- Front-fender removal to access the factory hinge area
- Door-panel removal to access wiring and obtain additional wire slack
- Wiring management and routing
- Non-visible inner-fender trimming for clearance
- Hinge installation and adjustment
- Final door alignment and clearance checks
The factory wire boot is cut in half for routing, but the factory wiring generally does not need to be cut.
Follow the supplied VDI instructions for the specific installation.
Before removing the original hinges, it is recommended to use 2-inch painter's tape to mark
the factory door alignment. Place reference marks across the door and adjacent body panels near the hinges and
firewall. These marks can help reproduce the original door position during reassembly.
If you are not experienced with body-panel removal, door alignment, trimming, drilling or tapping where applicable,
and automotive wiring clearance, professional installation is recommended.

Vertical Doors, Inc. offers several installation options depending on product eligibility, location and scheduling.
