The design is also said to be mostly inspired by a Wings West Aggressor-style bodykit. Eric Tscherne says that the car was inspired by numerous tuner cars of the late '90s not long after first drawing the car, he purchased a Mitsubishi Eclipse, with some lines from said car making it over to this model. The name was changed to Seared Tuner after what was rumored to be potential legal challenges, arose. The car was also featured on Hot Wheels packaging from late 2000 to 2003. This casting is among the first widely released imported Tuner-type models. From 2005, the casting was retooled with the plastic insert on the side removed. This casting features a chopped roofline, widened bodywork, driver's side air intake on the bonnet, dual exhaust pipes (molded into the base) and heavily modified grille and bumper. On the interior piece of this casting is a set of 4 speakers cast into the interior piece. The Seared Tuner was originally introduced in the 2000 First Editions line-up with the name Sho-Stopper.
