Maybe more 2010s supercar fixtures? Like side vents, taillights, and headlights.

Oh, and modern style lights and grilles like these:

- Some less ricey wings would be sweet:
- Some hood fixtures would be also nut worthy

OMG yes, a blower intake. That would be all of the fun.

1. I think the spindle grille fixture have to come up in the suggestion sooner or later.
- What I actually need are more lettering/typefaces for decals and badges, maybe something like:
-
Script font.
For example, this one’s called ‘lamacchina’, otherwise known as the Lamborghini font:
And Alfaowners Script:
-
50s-esque badge typeface.
This one is called Raceway Medium:
And the famous Magneto:
-
Bold and italic typefaces. I don’t put any specifics for this because, well, just anything bold and/or italic makes me a happy.
- Additionally, small accessories could be useful for the aftermarket look.
Front tow hook:
Hood pins:
Decorative wheelie bars and parachute (I say decorative because I’m 99% sure it’ll fall off in BeamNG lol):
Or maybe go crazy and downright bosozoku exhausts:

But it wouldn’t fit any of the bodies…
No it doesn’t directly fit but it’s useful for people that want to obscure part of it or just have some different shapes to play around with.
The infamous Lexus spindle grill, would help get some really unique shapes going!
Here’s a smaller practical type fixture that hopefully wouldn’t be too much trouble to get working. The shape-carving fixtures in the workshop could be expanded on with more shallow and/or more rounded versions. They could be used as concave trim pieces, “fake” panel gaps, and could probably find other uses combined with other fixtures.
Something like the lines down the sides of an F50.

You can make all of that stuff pretty easily out of existing fixtures though.

I think as far as diffusers and stuff goes, we could use something like a rounded version of the mudflaps with no logo and/or mudflap like fixtures that sit farther into the body. We could also really use basic trim pieces with some depth so you can place the over grills/vents without it looking like its floating over them.

I’ll be tackling your suggestions first. I’ve already done some experimenting with license plate frames and indeed I can make them work. Wipers TBD… Stay tuned.
Your suggestions got as many,or almost as many votes, but they’ll have to wait for the first set of fixtures to be completed. But at this point they look like the next ones up.
Everyone else, keep submitting new ideas and voting with the like button.
Edit: I already have a proof of concept prototype, utilizing pod-light technology, for a front license plate bracket;

Also to address what others have been suggesting: IMO there’s no point making discrete fixtures out of modern lights because they’re characterized by a housing with many components inside that make it up. If you take all of that and make a light out of that then it ends up having a very specific look and a very limited use, rather it’s better that we have a wider variety of generic shapes and parts to combine to make modern styling possible, it’s totally doable and I think it’s pretty much the only real way to do it at all…

I think it’s obviously true that it’s better to make complex headlights and diffusers out of basic shapes, but that’s only the case for experienced designers who have spent lots of time with fixture placement. I’d suggest that for a large majority of Automation players, some modern diffusers and headlights would be useful to make cars look pretty decent without having to spend the time lining up every fixture and making everything perfect.
You might even have some sort of compromise by having one variant with all the components inside for one-and-done use, and one with just the exterior housing for layering use. For diffusers, one with just the cutout and one with all the fins and everything inside.

I don’t think it has to be one or the other. We should have some ready-to-go fixtures for casual players, plus more advanced solo-objects for advanced tinkerers.

I have that vent.
My suggestions:
-New Volvo S60 body.
-2014 Seat León body.
-late 10s led headlights and taillights (like Honda).
-10s ~bull~ full size SUV body.
-A looking-similar 10s Lagonda Taraf.
-10s B-segment urban body.

Just to tack on to that – and this might be better to request as vanilla content – but could we get North American standard 6x12 inch (15x30 cm) plates?
The elongated Euro plates always look so wrong when I am trying to make NA designs and morphing them to size is an inexact science.
@goblin95 I would like to voice my strong support for 1950s / 1960s style lettering.
