The title says it all. i can't tell you how many times i've seen the same colored nissan silvia drifting together.
 
i agree, there should atleast be something for crying out loud.

The only slight personal feel i get when playing is maybe, maybe when i find some old standard car or something.

I play with my ds3 controller, first GT since gt1 on ps1, loved that game when i was a kid you can imagine. even built a simulator of my tv with a cardbord box! sweet!

I hardly play online, just feels like its missing so much there.

But something needs to be done, how can i feel "this is my car, wow" when its just a copy of any other ones game. this gets to be a problem when online enters the picture, weather its about sharing photomode shots OR playing online
 
Word. It feels lame that the only "personalization" we have to our cars is basically painting the body and rims and selecting from a handful of rims to pick from, and only one option for bodykits usually. And it's especially lame considering that this is pretty much limited to premiums. Maybe PD is worried about people sticking swearwords or whatever onto their cars? I guess there could be some sort of report system for that sort of stuff
 
In before the groin posts. :p

Even with its warts, Forza's car customization and Livery Editor is simply amazing. Being able to turn any sports car into a race car, no DLC required, is just a dream come true to a race car enthusiast like me. And to be honest, the one pair of features that keep me coming back to Forza... even though I threw Forza 3 away after six or seven weeks. I'm hoping that Forza 4 is the kick in the pants Kaz needs to take this option more seriously than the really basic Race Mod he's given us so far, and with so few cars in the list!

Once again, for those who can't stand the thought of someone doing something to their very OWN car, we can have an option for you that disable those liveries on YOUR TV. Problem solved. Unless the thought that someone might have a nicer looking car than yours fills you with envy. ;)
 
This should be common sense to have if you ask me. It was different before online, we all know how "open" everything gets with online, just look at this forum and our smartphones and whatnot. I for one feel very boxed in when my internet connection is down for maintenance for example. Now it might not seem to relate, but it does. We want to share more, but we still want a personal experience. so they enforce each other. As i like GT5 i read here for news/sharing experience etc, and that is also a factor in the need for personalization.
 
Remember guys, if you want to see a livery editor incorporated in GT5, vote for it in the feedback section. We're all pretty sure that PD uses the feedback section from this site to know what the people want.
 
GT5. A realistic racing similar where all the cars look alike... eh I still love it!
 
I don't think it will happen for GT5 or any GT on the PS3, not because it isn't a wanted feature (even my PD) but because the memory restrictions of the PS3 with GT5 being how it is at the moment. I could be wrong, I hope I am.
 
Agree, some sort of visual customization would be nice. I like the color paint chips though so I hope they won't go away. But an option to add graphics would be nice. I have some ideas that I want to do...

I don't think memory is an issue, this would just be dealing with texture. In terms of memory it doesn't use much. I think the problem is rather on the technical side, that the game structure somehow makes it hard to create custom textures. It probably needs to be built in from a very fundamental level. I hope they can achieve it though!

EDIT: Oh, and another option I would love is to chose special tires for your car. On some cars you get special tires when you change rims (like most muscle cars, if you change to a certain rim you can get "Firestone Eagle" tires, or tires with a white stripe on the side), I would love to have more options on the visual aspects of the tires. For instance, white wall tires (like the Corvette '54 has)
