I believe that both of the items can be done in one big a$$ed project...
If the development team would design bumpers, hoods, doors, etc as different objects(original appearance but functional).
- Next step is to release the code for shape, colour, and material to the community.
- Now the community creates its own designs to be modded into it, and shared amongst each other.
Best of both worlds(not counting time).
If you need any help, I'll dedicate whatever skill and time I can.
P.S. LFS is amazing and getting better. Support it if you can.
