I made a quick kn5 for the AM to show that it is possible. I have hidden 4 of the number plates and left only the front one. As you can tell it will work for some (most) of the skins, but the front plate will hide decals on other skins. So there is a need for another or even two new kn5 files to have them in the correct place.
For the one below, it's correct:
This skin needs another kn5 hiding other plates, because this one is hiding the Beechdan logo:
Here are the preview kn5 for the ENDURANCE version that you can use to replace the car kn5 to make previews.
One version keeps only one of the plates on the front side of the doors, the other on the rear side
Rename (or backup) the original car kn5 first and don't forget to switch them again after making the previews.
NEW LINK containing two files which will cover all skins

The above Beechdan skin using the other kn5:
NOTE: Simply changing the kn5 name accordingly doesn't make it work for the SPRINT, since the kn5 will also add ENDU lights to the SPRINT version.

Thanks to you both! @Fanapryde, these work like a charm; I've adjusted the Endurance skin previews using your kn5s. And @norms, I love this solution -- I'd much rather have a clean preview than the multiple number plates. I'm using this method for the AM Sprint skins and will end up using it for any future problematic cars, as I have zero experience with ksEditor, I can do this easily myself, and I kind of like the totally clean previews. I tend to spend most of my (fairly limited) AC time out on the track but really need to mess around in the showroom some more. Other than (blindly, but ultimately successfully) adjusting windshield materials on some cars to try to correct some puddle reflection issues I was noticing, I haven't really explored it.

@carTOON
Basically many of the textures are blown out with ambient/diffuse set at 0.5/0.6 some others at 0.4/0.5 which is way too bright.
Note: 3dsimed uses 5/6 as default shader levels when converting GMT (or raw FBX output w/persistence) and needs to be adjusted to a more reasonable level around 0.25/0.25
My workflow involves hand editing the track.FBX.ini after CM/kn5conv to adjust all the values to a nominal 0.25/0.25 before importing into ksEditor and then adjusting values to suit.
Also choose a default filter like "photographic" in ksEditor

Just was interested in GT4 proper racing experience of some of the cars, but then moved on balancing for others.
GT4 class that are relativily stock cars and great fun to drive. For AC it's 0.83 pack of Gt4 cars made by Guerilla mods and few other GT4 cars from other modders. That was a dissapointment when i found Guerilla brilliant looking cars was huge mismatch in physics point. Such as NA cars had twin turbo instead, 8 gear drivetrains, enormous weight of some of them and some cars were trully underpowered. So i coolected his and other GT4 cars (24 including Kunos) and fixed them, balancing how it was possible. After testings on different circuits all the 24 cars had marging 2-3.5 sec between first and last, depending on the circuit.
these visually awesome cars were originally converted by Guerilla, and were found on open source. Pack insludes
new DATA folder with correct physics and "orig data" file with old physics.
I made it for myself to have some fun racing after FIA big events.
Ps: It's not perfect yet, still need some work on BoP for some cars
*(!) Some of the cars are top runners, some oldie GT4 cars are underdogs on the grid. Some of them can be a victory grabber on narrow tracks,
but can be a dog of a car on high speed tracks (such as KTM X-bow ❤️ like it).
The two cars i am not quite sure in my fix are new Bavarian Supra and Panoz*.
also it contain following our remade physics car or original cars:

I'm really sorry, man.
I've never used and I don't want to use CSP in the future and everything works fine on my PC (all my stuff). I can make mods for the officially released Kunos AC. Well, I've talked about this a few times - I download a nice car mod and get a blue crystal model, I download a nice track and the game crashes... because of CSP, most of the sim community suffers. And the mods made for the original AC cannot be used by the other part of the community, because there are no CSP things... I wrote in the description on the RD: this is an AC track (not AC+CSP+Sol...), don't look for CSP stuff. Yes, true, I don't like CSP because CSP has split a good AC community into two camps. This is sad.

but obviously CSP brings AC to a new level of sim-racing, i mean only visually of course. its a misarable price to pay for double good quality of picture, is not it?

I don't know mate...I haven't tried to buy a CSP supplement but I follow the forums every day and see how many problems it can cause. I have an older PC, windows 32bit, but the slightly older codemasters F1, the rally games, Kunos AC run fine. I saw that CSP requires 64bit... I don't want to buy or tuning a new PC for CSP.

Sure mate, sure...you can do anything. I gave it freely, I don't set limits, you can share anything if you want, really. If there's a way, fix it and enjoy, I'm happy if it's in use. Cheers and best regard!

Didn't you know, that ALL those objects are weather ballons?Chinese jets?
Actually, Chinese weather and spy balloons are currently more present, and wouldn't they be more in line with your other preferences?
Sorry, I definitely don't mean any harm, it just imo made sense given the current news situation...

Reduce the middle coordinate for them in models.ini.
Not at my PC atm but I think the default is currently 0, 0, 0 so if you want to lower them by ten metres, it's 0, -10, 0

And for the ones that are not fed up yet playing around with preview kn5 files, here are the files for all skins of the SPRINT version.
Again: doesn't work for the ENDU version, so please keep them separated.
I'm sure you guys have your own ways, but for others I'd suggest to make an extra map in the car folder (e.g. previews) and put them there for further use (e.g. when other skins are made)...

Well, rather than "correct", I would say "broaden the field of use"...
