Default STOOZE Tiger Shark Update

It has been a few years but I am about finished with the body work. I just added the roof vent. It isn't finctional because I didn't want to cut into the roof but I think it looks great and matches the hood. I may change out the rear break vents

Well done, the roof thing is different but fits the car. I love the look in pic # 7 it reminds me of the ( I think hennesy viper) but with more class, wow the hood and flares car looks real good and is 1 of only a few or 1 of a kind. One last thing great wheel choice, too many people going with blacked out wheels those look great.

The hinges are GT Factory I think. The double shocks and the 90* open angle give it away. I think GT Factory is the only one that adjusts to 90.

Why put in a roof vent if it isn't functional? Now all it does is reduce aerodynamics. It's almost like putting in non-functional rear brake vents. Are those non-functional too?

Just giving you a hard time man. I like the look, just think you should have made it functional if you were going to go to the trouble of doing that mod in the first place.

I wouldn't mind the roof vent if it were a 'little' more subtle... For one your size, you need a HUGE-A$$ racing spoiler in the back to balance it out, a la C5R... JMHO.

Not a fan of the roof vent, but the rest of the mods are very nice. Especially like the TS panels and the fender flares.

I was going to make the roof scoop functionable but I couldn't locate a good interior vent like they have in airplanes. And I really didn't want to cut into the roof without one.
