Ok, since RK made this into an actual wishlist (sticky maybe?), I have a few customization items that I would like to see. Some of these are already in the “features” wishlist, but they really belong here…
FIRST…the convertible top issue. Many people have been asking for the ability to open and close the top via a function button while driving (similar to TDU2). While that would be nice, i doubt it will happen in FH4 (FH5 maybe?). Instead of bothering with that, why not just use a feature in the upgrade garage that FH4 already has? There are three cars that have removable roofs/shells via the “wing” tab…the Holden Sandman van (ute), the Ford Bronco, and the International Scout. All three of these can be made “convertible” simply by picking the option in the aero category. Why can’t we have the same thing with all of the other convertibles/roadsters/spiders/targas, etc? Just have a selection for top up or down, or to remove t-tops, or open sunroofs. That way those of us who enjoy open air driving can have the ability to decide to have the top open or not, but doesn’t require the complication of adding in open/close animation while in game. You could also add an option for including roof racks, like we see with many of the “traffic” cars in FH4. Just add a “roof” tab to the aero category in the upgrade garage, and this is what I’d love to see…
- top up or down options on all convertibles/roadsters/spiders/targas
- t-tops on or off
- sunroofs open or closed
- truck tray/bed covers on or off
- roof racks on or off (storage, bike racks, ski racks, equipment racks, spare tyres, old mattresses, etc.)
NEXT ~ WHEELS…Forza has some great wheel options, but it could do so much better, especially when we’ve had basically the same wheels for the last several games. I think it’s time to add some new ones. We also need more DEEP LIP wheels, close to zero offset, or even negative offsets…
Aussies musclecar wheels…these look great on any musclecar
Bathurst Globes…(stock wheels for the XA Falcon in FH3 and FH4, but they aren’t deep enough)

Sunraysia…(used on Mad Max XB Falcon Interceptor, XA and XB pursuit vehicles, and Night Rider Monaro)

Hotwires…(stock wheels on some Holden Toranas)

Jellybeans (also known as 5 slot mags. Multiple manufacturers…stock wheels for Jeep CJ5 and Chrysler Valiant Charger in FH3 and FH4. Needs more negative offset though, ie. deeper lip)

Simmons B45…popular aftermarket wheels for Holdens

I would also like to see a decent selection of “old school” musclecar rims from the 70’s-80’s, like original Centerlines (3 piece, Champ 500’s), Enkei (EK2, Epsioln mesh), American Racing (Vectors, AR23, Outlaw 1 & 2), original Torque Thrust D, older Halibrand designs
Then, we could use a better assortment of “old school” JDM wheels, like SSR, Techno Racing, RS Watanabe, TRD, Work, Hayashi, etc.
NEXT ~ better wings for Ford XA and XB Falcon, and Holden Monaro. Both the Falcon and the Monaro had “ducktail” type fibreglass wings available. I’m not sure if they were OEM or aftermarket, but they look WAY better than those bolt-on plastic wings that are the default for the aero kit. Just do a google search for “HQ HZ Monaro rear wing” and “XC Falcon Cobra” for examples.
NEXT ~ I know that we are now in the UK instead of Australia, but why can we not have a proper Mad Max body kit for the XB Falcon? I mean, PG/T10 made a point to add the Scott injector hat for the blower on ONLY the XB Falcon, which was an obvious nod to the Mad max Interceptor, so why not just let us have the rest of the kit? I don’t even think anyone owns the rights to the design, so licensing shouldn’t be a problem. You could put it under the “wide body kit” tab.
NEXT ~ Wider tyre options for the Holden Sandman. The current max tyre width is 215mm. Yep, that’s all. You can get a wider tyre on the '94 Civic
I know there might be some space limits since the Sandman has leaf springs modeled in, but you should be able to at least get up to 265’s or so. I mean, the brake calipers aren’t even inside the rim like they should be. The Sandman (in ute configuration) is literally my favourite vehicle in FH4, but I don’t drive it often, and rarely race it because the traction is horrendous from the tyres being so skinny. A V8 powered car deserves some better tyres on it.
NEXT ~ Paintable trim. I know it’s not an issue on newer cars that don’t have chrome, but I would love to have the ability to change the chrome trim and bumpers on the older cars to black or even body color.
NEXT ~ Since character/driver customization is now a thing, I have a few thoughts on that as well. Keep in mind, my list is mainly for a female character, but some of it can be applied to male characters.
-
Hair colors ~ as long as we are going to be able to change clothing, why not have a limited selection of hair colors to choose from?
-
Hair styles ~ right now you get whatever style goes with the specific character, but it would be nice to have a bit more of a variety, including some longer styles.
-
More accessory options ~ ok, so we get a watch or bracelet on one arm, and our Horizon wristband on the other. How about adding rings, necklaces, and earrings to the list?
-
Better clothing choices that are gender specific. One complaint that i saw over and over when the game first started was all of the guys whinging about getting “stupid” girls clothing in wheelspins. I have a couple if ideas here…first, create a Horizon clothing store and let us BUY the items we want, instead of getting stuck with stuff we will never wear in wheelspins. That way we can buy what we like and ignore the rest. Guys can buy guys clothing and girls can buy girls clothing. You can still have “special” unisex items like full outfits as race rewards… I would like to see a few new clothing items…crop tops, halters, more feminine tank tops, heels (no not stilettos, you can’t drive in those), sandals, boots that aren’t combat/doc marten style, capris, and above all, MORE COLORS. Like with the roll-up shorts, we get those in literally three colors…pale pink, light tan, and red (that isn’t actually red). Where is the white, or black, or blue, or denim, or even something crazy like hot pink? Maybe have a basic clothing item and then a texture/color selector.
-
Car company branded clothing ~ do you know how cool it would be to have a leather jacket with “Ferrari” or the Holden racing Team logo on the back? How about a hat with the Subaru logo? T-shirts with out favourite car company logos on them? Just an idea. I know these would require licensing, but since you guys already have their cars, this should work too.
That’s it for now. If I think of any other customization wishes, I’ll add them.
