If you have not installed the TDM SVN here is the truck URL:
http://gmod-dl.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/TDMCarpack/Since, based on the vote so far and the obvious outcome, TDM vehicles will be the majority of the vehicles in the game and will replace many current sickness ones I thought about the skins TDM offers. If you looked at my video for the thread I made of a Jeep Wrangler and Ford Crown Victoria rotating you can see three variants of skins and body groups on the Jeep Wrangler and the Ford. The ford isn't TDM but it does get the idea across.
Your gona see me mention the Jeep constantly, its just a perfect example because it has so many add-ons. Plus I already had the video made.

1) My idea is that we add these as options to vehicles. Either by going to someone to customize and/or getting them on purchase. Most TDM vehicles offer skins and some have body groups. Although some skins may not change the vehicle that much or at all some others would have use for them. For example if you looked at the Jeep on the spinning wheel you saw a black hard-top roof and the flares were black too. On the others the roof was painted, the painted ones are other skins. And then there is even more detail into the Jeep, look at the hood for the one on the wheel, then look at the one with a snorkel on the left, and the regular hood on the right. And even more! The bumper changes, in that showcase I display two of the three bumpers it can get, a heavy duty one with a winch and just one that is basically a ram looking thing.
And that isn't all, but there is too much to mention.
Now we want unique vehicles, something like this I feel would bring a lot more in. Lets say 20 people own the Jeep (Because it is the most amazing car of all time duuuu
) it would look boring seeing them in six or seven colors all the same. If they were slightly different it would be much nicer to see. And just think real life, you see a car of the same model, is it always the same? Or customized?
Now my idea for how this would work is when you purchase the car and/or customize it with an NPC there is a little slider. As you move it, it shows the changes as you move it across for the skin, and the same thing with all of the body groups.
2) Now, if it's "too complex" (which it isn't) here is another idea. Again the Jeep, lets say you buy it stock, nothing shows up on it. Regular old jeep, regular bumper no nothing. If you get armor on it, it could change the skin, bumper and maybe add other stuff like a skirt and wing. Just another idea I am throwing out there.
