We still want to rework whole painting booth system to make it better.
In future updates we finally want to add modding support (e.g. you will be able to place your own rims models in game)
We would also want to hear from you some feedback about the update. Did you enjoy it? Do you think our effort to make the gameplay more fun and enjoyable was worth it? If you find any issues, please contact with us (send us your CrashLog from game directory).

That's it for the moment, as always.. Happy Tuning!
