The front end has been slightly modified and features high intensity discharge headlamps, and a different grille characterized by its chevron shaped bar in the middle. The car's emergency vehicle lighting comes in the form of a slim light bar on the top, and auxiliary lights in the front bumper and rear window. Interestingly, the Stinger has a red and blue light bar on the top of the car, similar to [[NOOSE]] and the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FIB]], and unlike the [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|LCPD]], who only have red and white light bars to match with [[wp:NYPD|NYPD]] code. This may be because the Police Stinger was meant to be occupied by one of the two former branches. | ||
