    really good, imagine getting a new car and seeing exposed wiring and the ability to stick your pinky through the floor to touch your handbrake line:D

    i have no clue if the real one even had actual carpeting around the handbrake area, finding proper pictures of this car is like finding a needle in a hay stack
    for manufacturing sake it seems reasonable though maybe it could use a boot?

    I've seen some IRL, and iirc they had carpeting between the seats as well as a plastic casing around the handbrake base

    i have decided on doing a new config layout this time it has a whole new badging design style

    now of course the base expansion versions will be different from what the others are but those packs exist for a reason as optional addons so it isn't clustered

    might we ever see the Satsuma LX come to this mod? Maybe with the MSC style configs pack? I really like that mod's grilles and the badges it has
    I'd imagine Bosor would be alright with it being added if you ask

    based on how things are going and research the LX name was not used till the later 70s so it may not technically be used but it will have it, HOWEVER what basically is the LX now in the base expansion lore is the GX which is period correct even for the early 70s

    it doesnt have to be one to one to real life:confused:

    I for one would appreciate the LX badges and grilles, atleast have it be part of the MSC config pack if not in the base mod

    well that is what i will do
    the base mod needs configs hence why i'm giving it it's own lore that is somewhat based around a few things and my own
    --- Post updated ---
    right now i'm just trying to work out the deal with the base mods configs and then i will work on the irl pack the kiwi and then hopefully get started on the msc config pack

    i know some people might dislike my style of configs but this is for the sake of the base mod ( id rather it not be like KLJP where its just a base and you have to download config packs to even use any of it )

    my goal here is to make both a fictional/realistic mix but to where it's still cool and somewhat authentic while still having that fictionalized touch

    what i have spread out is this

    Beam E10 canon ( the one i am making right now, this one is a partially fictional and realistic style layout )
    MSC canon ( a remake of TG's version of the car with maybe some enhanced stylized stuff along with my own headcanon designs etc while still keeping the model/trim layout pretty much )
    IRL style ( replicas of the real models featuring the actual trim and model name badges except branding for obvious reasons )
    Ibishu lore canon ( the kiwi, sorta still experimental as i have some plans to rework the badging on it to fit other cars like the signia claria etc " i hope " )

    the update has slowly been coming together, i'm excited to get it done but id rather take my time getting things polished up and fleshed out
    config building has taken the most time along with throwing together extras here and there

    the mod page will also get a revamp too! i gotta figure out how i will do it but we'll see

    for now have a gander at this late model E-10 GT Coupe

    pretty much this update focus's on extra customization and general improvements

    regarding the packs i have right now i will be reworking them shortly after the update is out!
    so bare with me, i plan to add more badging stuff to the irl pack on the JDM models
    the ibishu kiwi will also get a full remake with new badging and designs etc

    after those are done i will work on the MSC universe style pack
    even though i removed the AMP and other msc model name badges from the base they will return in a fresh redesign in the pack
    i'm sorry if that bothers anyone but until then you will just have to go off of the badges i have until i get the pack done

    this is pretty much a late year refresh update

    the new update seems to be completed and ready to send out, however the two content packs currently out have been set to outdated until i finish the updates for them which will probably take a while. after those two are done i can work on the MSC style lore pack
