*crosses fingers for GT5*
Just to remind people of what's possible with a few shapes and decals...

Woops... still drooling.
Oh, and I neglected to mention that our very own alba is responsible for the GT Planet decals, and GT5 logo.
My 350Z racer above is what keeps making me think of getting Forza 4, as well as getting sore fingers crossing them in hopes of a Livery Editor for GT5. And if not GT5, then 6.
Being able to make a race car out of almost any vehicle is the seriously cool aspect of Forza. Heck, just getting two or three Race Mod liveries in GT2 kept many of us collecting cars until we bumped up against the 100 car limit, and then we'd start a new save to keep going. In Forza, you can make your own liveries from scratch. You can buy decals, flags, any number of elements from the Storefront to use in creating a livery with much less work. Or you can buy entire liveries, or liveried cars.
Those who race in online clubs and leagues in Forza have the luxury of creating their own racing identities, which was something once only PC racers could do with an art program like Photoshop. And this is what Gran Turismo needs badly, what GT5 needs badly, as the first online Gran Turismo. As it is now, you can basically pick an existing race car, or mod up a street car, and then you have to sort out who gets to paint theirs Tornadorot, or Lime Green, or Plum Crazy. You don't even get a number plate! And there are SO many cars I'm aching to be able to Race Mod and slap a livery on, both Premiums and Standards.
Here's another beauty I'm particularly proud of from Forza 3:
Here's hoping that a small team at PD are working on this, because a Livery Editor and providing Race Mod for more cars will give GT5 a huge boost of interest to a lot of racer fans around the globe. And give the online racing community a big shot of adrenaline.
I would spend a lot of time in livery editor if it was in gt5.
Mainly, i would do something like this:

If you could do that, you'd be the hero of GT Planet. But do you have any idea how much freaking work one of those drift liveries are?? They're insane! But when you're done, you definitely have something unique that drift fans will pay just about anything to get.
