Quick and Easy Design Ideas
or How to Ignore Everything Said by Yang.



INSET LIGHTS AND WHATNOT

You see that indicator and how the light itself doesn’t sit flush with the bumper? While sealed memes can be used to function similarly, they’re too square in design for some cars and as such, here’s a more complicated way of doing things.

Here’s the basic idea behind it: an MDHL projector light is placed inside a vent with the sides of the vent covering up the edges of the light. That’s it.



MDHL AND GRADIENT LIGHTS

The only design I’ve ever been remotely proud of. You see the gradient effect near the reversing lights? Simply use the MDHL piece below and play around with materials to get the look.

Here’s what it looks like in design mode, without the red glass on top.



A PANEL GAP BETWEEN THE LIGHTS/GRILLE AND BODYWORK

Here’s the overdone front of a pickup. Notice the black bars between the grille and bodywork? That’s supposed to resemble a panel gap and also it looks cool. As Gizmos body shaping kit is dead, the best course of action would most likely be to use good ol’ bumper bars for this.

And another pic with the gap in place because I like this sedan too much and just want a reason to repost it.



IF YOUR EXHAUST IS ATTACHED WITH TAPE FROM THE FACTORY…

If you want to stick some fixtures in a place where no one will ever look, you can place these things under the Misc. category over the exhaust.

Looks cool, that’s all.



MODERN LICENCE PLATE INDENTS

If the new stock fixtures aren’t good enough or if you want a little more variety, stick some of CB’s Patchwork in a grille and call it a day.

Good luck with fitting a licence plate in there without it sticking out too much though.



That’s it for now, did you learn anything new or interesting? Be sure to @ me and tell me how much you don’t care for any of these.
