[Feedback] Some small ideas to improve car customization

Something that I consider the most fun part of the Need For Speed Franchise is car customization, and one thing I see a few give credit to Criterion and Ghost is the way they decided to implement it, it is technically complex and I can tell how it can be time consuming to add brand new part sets and bodykits, and as much as I'd like to have more Aftermarket parts for past vehicles I don't think it's full priority here to expect it considering we will get 2 cars per Volume.

So here's some more smaller suggestions that may enhance some of the older cars a bit in terms in customization and some ideas that may help as a whole when customizing our cars:

.- Give some older cars more modern shared parts

Mostly referring to Spoilers, Diffusers, and maybe some Splitters. Cars like the RX-8, Nissan Z Proto, and most recently the returning Audis, seem to have an updated selection of parts in this game, and some of these look pretty nice, it kind of makes me wish they would be added to cars like the RX-7, 350Z, Skyline GTR R34, among others that haven't been updated since 2015 or Payback, as there's few options for some more subtle or color coded wings with most of the older cars.

My favorite wing in particular is only seen in the Silvia S14, a middle sized tuner Carbon Wing with a unique shape that I would love to install in My RX-7.


Here's the wings and diffusers in question I would like to see in the older cars:
 

(I included the Ducktail spoiler as a little suggestion, I like the Long ducktails on 90s cars and something inspired by them would be a nice addition as a shared spoiler)

.- Return Missing Customization to certain cars

Some of the cars from the previous games saw their cannard options removed from the game in order to fuse them with some bumper options, as well as some cars like the 911 RSR losing Trunk Lid customization in favor of fusing it with Spoiler Options.

This just feels like a step down from the previous game, and whilst I understand this was due to some parts just being very restrictive with how many combinations could be done, I still think the choice is appreciated regardless, sometimes I don't want to use a Cannard in my Bumper, or use a different splitter, Or use a custom trunk with no Spoiler Attached to it, the choices are appreciated, as limited as they were...

.- Blowers for Muscle Cars

There's already an existing Blower in the game through the Legendary Customs Charger, and one of the most popular mods for Muscle Cars is to add a blower to your engine, many people have been asking for them ever since The Superbuilds from Payback or Roberto Riviera's Camaro in Heat, adding the option to cars like the Mercury Cougar, the Mustang Boss, and others would be a welcome addition for Muscle car enjoyers all around.

.- New "Generic/Speedhunters" Rims
Only if possible, I wouldn't be opposed to the idea of adding more wheels made by the team at Criterion into the game other than Turbofan Designs which, although they're cool, they're starting to feel repetitive, and getting brand new scanned models may take a bit of time, Having some "Need For Speed" rims just like NFS Underground and Underground 2 had would not be a bad idea, Stuff that works for mutiple kinds of builds rather than just thematic rims like the Heart Rims or Panda Rims that exist in the game, at least until we get some new branded rims. 

(Example of the "NFSU2" Branded Rims)

.- Livery Editor Improvements.

Lastly I'd like to bundle together some small ideas for the Livery Editor
- More Aftermarket Colorable Decals of existing brands from within the game (HKS, Sparco, Brembo, etc.)
- More Materials for Decals: Light Up, Holographic, etc. to add more variety than just Metal Materials
- More Wrap Slots (I already filled 100 ;w😉

Among other things, these are some ideas that I thought would be sensible to ask for.

Good Luck Team!
