Reflectors and body moldings
Hello! Since I've been playing this game a lot, I've started looking at real cars, I've noticed a couple of things that we can't really do at the moment, which are quite common on production cars. First is reflectors - red ones at the rear, or orange ones on the sides. Some of the lights presumably include these, but a lot of cars have them separate.
Also, body moldings. Either the rubber rub-strips down the sides of a lot of cars in the 80s, or the "make this look more off-road-y" plastic bits around the wheels and along the perimeter of most SUVs, especially cross-overs. This would allow the addition of a great deal of visual interest to the cars. Separate bumpers could also potentially be included in this, instead of having them included directly with all of the body types. Very modern cars often have seamless bumpers, but the older ones had big Chrome or rubber pieces, which if we could swap out and around, might look good.
I think I saw somewhere that later on, it will be possible for different trim levels to have different fittings (I'm assuming this is, for example, to be able to add a wing to the "performance" version of a car, etc.). If that's the case, then some aero kits would be a great thing to be able to add. A lot of car manufacturers add a bit of extra plastic down the sides of their most sporting car trims, as well as the wings and lips which we can already emulate.
Thanks for reading! =)
