    With the lack of animation, that I bet would be difficult, for shifted gears (unless the gear shifter isn't like a stick, look at the LKS PreRunner), then I feel a mod for a digital show for it would be pretty cool, like the sunburst. I bet this is useless, but just an idea. Yeeeah, we have the UI, but sometimes there's something from rallying quickly through JRI without something stuck to your screen.

    Makes sense, but only if it is added in as a dash modification (like the Navigation screen, for example) since most cars, especially in this game, would not come with that from factory except for the modern cars, and the japanese cars with the Auto PRNDL21 light in the gauge cluster. Otherwise, just use the UI app.

    Well this kinda fits in with the whole "we need interior customization" that i've been begging for a long time.

    Here's how I would break down some legit interior customization:

    Duplicate vanilla cars, so its a separate car completely
    Separate the dashboard and all major pieces of it from the chassis (pretty sure the dash's are modelled directly attached to the body currently)
    Make the stock dash selectable
    Model a new dash (like a flat, carbon fiber racing type dash for one example)
    Model additional pieces, like different gauges, dash materials, console pieces (cupholder etc)
    Make those parts selectable

    I agree, no idea if a dupe is required, but being able to both change the dash in case you wanted a custom car to have a speedometer to show above 160 miles, or to show even more RPM, or to have shift lights (which are WIP already) or even a boost gauge which would be cool, would be just amazing. And from then on i dont see why not say yes to digital dash aftermarkets and LED replacements 1990's F1 style. If the game adds an 80's car, or when the windover gets added, i would see it great to see something like an optional fully LSD or LED cluster.

    Then of course, the option to just gut the interior and leave the steering wheel for racing editions of a car. You have no idea how heavy an AC and a heater is in a real car.
