I think a good majority of what I had to note was based on PS2 game "Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3." People say what they wanted about the game, but it has some features kind of what GT4 will have. One of the more notable features is being able to paint up your car any way you like. The TXR3 thread in the Gaming/Playstation 2 forums had some rather interesting paint jobs to the cars. The unique thing about the Tokyo Xtreme Racers was that you could find any part to your car and do whatever you want. Pick body parts that helped your car to no only look unique, but get that race car look and feel. And even if you wanted to stay stock, you can still carbon up your body and go with the original paint. At least you'll have a lighter car to work with to make upset after upset.
And I think the "original kits" deal either refers to generic GT or manufacturer paint schemes, or any styles totally apart from the normal car. And a great example was that NASCAR-ized Ford Taurus modification. And I'm sick of talking about it, but you can't take a economy car and make it into something like a Nextel Cup car. They are rear-wheel drive, with V8 motors, no lights, no doors... instead, PD wanted to make it real. I respect the effort, but stock cars were never designed for pure road racing. And lightening all the weight is just money down the drain. Should have been sold as a special model if they wanted to be serious about a stock car body kit. So for the last time, ECONOMY CARS SHARE VERY LITTLE WITH RACING STOCK CARS! And people talk about glorifying the Mini Cooper and Toyota Supra like in the media. Hell, they don't even know what they're talking about. And one more thing, ugliest paint scheme I've ever seen in GT = the multicolor scheme for the Honda Del Sol. And if something's going to be a special model, at least be able to paint it up.
