The C8 Corvette's ZLR Butterfly Door Kit is one of our most talked-about upgrades — here's a full, honest breakdown of what it costs from start to finish.
Base Kit Cost
The ZLR Butterfly Door Kit itself is priced in the low thousands, covering the complete hinge system, gas shocks tuned for the C8's door weight, and all mounting hardware.
Installation Cost
Self-installation with basic tools costs you nothing beyond the kit price. Professional or mobile installation adds to the total but ensures a precise fit on a car at this value — many owners choose this route given the C8's price point.
What's Included at Every Price Point
- Complete ZLR hinge system, engineered specifically for Stingray, Z06, and E-Ray
- Gas shocks matched to door weight and balance
- Full mounting hardware and step-by-step install guide
- Lifetime warranty on hinges, limited warranty on shocks
Is the Butterfly Style Worth the Extra Drama?
Compared to a standard vertical lift, the ZLR butterfly motion opens in a wider arc — closer to what you'd see on a McLaren or SLS AMG. For C8 owners who want maximum visual impact, it's the more dramatic (and often pricier) of the two door styles we offer for this car.
