Some clarification: Certain Premiums

[MercilessOne]

I tried searching for a topic about this, but came up short, or maybe I haven't searched enough.

This concerns the Ferrari F430, and possibly any other car that falls under this. They're premium cars in the game, yes, so they get the cockpit view and much higher polygon than a standard car. But yet you can't change the wheels or add any aerokits for that matter. Before some of you go "omfg this isn't nfs stfu n00b", I would like to know why the F430 isn't customizable. I understand that the Scuderia gets the full treatment, but the F430 gets the short end? Could this be licensing issues, or was this intentional to differentiate the two from each other?

Again, I apologize if this is a repost. Just curious.

+1
Anyway I think it was a moddeling issue due to the car being imported directly from GT5 Prologue so maybe they didn't go over the car's addons and what have you for GT5, as far as i know though tuning it should be no problem.

Then I've killed an unimaginable amount of babies. Sorry for your losses.




And I guess that could be right. You can upgrade the engine, suspension, tires, etc., but aesthetics is a no-no? I was disappointed when I bought one and found that out. They could've at least used the same aerokit from the 430 Scuderia.

I know right? I was trying to make a GT2 version of the ferrari f430, i had all the weight and power restrictions, as per regulations, racing tyres etc. Until i got to the bodykit, and you couldn't anything. You can with f458, and enzo, and 599. But no f430. Were as you go to lamborghini, and you can get the full treatment done, the gallardo especially looks great, with bbs wheels, and it looks almost like the gt2(or 3, not sure) version.

Also, im down with some of the comments of not putting on bodykits, i had it done to my 458 for a while, and then i took it off, because it was ruining the look of the car.

It's the same way with the lfa.

Maybe because manufactureres required that certain cars of theirs shouldn't be spoiled by aftermarket bodykits. Uhmm, if I was Ferrari, I would certainly demand that.

Aerokits I can understand, but wheels? I think PD just forgot to enable aftermarket wheels. If it's licensing, why is it only the F430 and not the 458 or Enzo, which are Ferrari's flagship cars so to speak.

okey so he did one thing right.
even though i dont like what he is doing to that poor ferrari (bmw-engine WTF?) i have to admit that it is one of the coolest driftcars i have seen in a long time

That's wrong, or just incredibly lame. It's a premium car for goodness sake. The regular F430 is probably the most plain looking Ferrari of the bunch, second only to the California in this game.

What they ought to have is the ability to create an RM version, like you'd see in ALMS.

That car (and all the other similar ones around the world) make all the "hurr durr you should be shot for modifying a Ferrari" complaints null and void. Hell, I HAVE to mod mine, since I can't get a racing version which is what I want.

But this is a racing car, not a silver chrome F40 with pink rims.

If that's what that other link was about, then suppose I can't really disagree. I couldn't get it to load. But there seemed a lot of blanket statements being made. Turning any car into a drift car seems a waste of a perfectly good car to me, but if that's what people want to do, great for them I guess. If some guy paid 500 grand for a car, and he wants to make it 3 feet longer, put 4 DVD players in it, put a winch on front, spinners on the wheels and paint it plaid, it really doesn't bother me too much. I probably won't ever talk to him about cars, of course

...or probably much of anything else, for that matter.

BTW I tend to agree with the content of the first post, which seems unrelated to any of this.
