I think the stinger hood would look a lot better if the scoop was open - I think if you're gonna put a scoop type hood on a car, it oughta have a 'scoop'.

However, (now that the constructive criticism is outta the way) I thnk your car looks great! That color is my favorite on these body styles, and the wheels would be what I would buy if I wasn't so set on being different... :blueangel:

Your Stinger hood has a good looking fit. I've seen some stingers on C3's that fit like absolute schit.

Looks really GOOD! :cool: Colour is really cool and wheels are great!

One point though. I'd like to see the hood stinger scoop open also... Or at least the "opening" paint with black, so that it looks like opened. Otherwise really great car! :cheers:

very sweet, but something seems to be missing. Is there anyway to put a 67 stinger hood trim on the flat part? I think that would finish the look :thumbs:
