Suggestion Title: Rework the Car Dealership Car Preview
Suggestion Description: I don't know exactly how to word this because of my lack of game dev understanding, but I have had this gripe ever since V5. I'd appreciate it if people experienced with this stuff might add to the suggestion, as I understand my explanation isn't great.
The car dealership & garage preview screen, when shopping for, customizing, or spawning cars, feels extremely dark. On V5, I guess it fit the theme, but especially with the map being a lot brighter and more modern on V6, it would be nice if the preview looked more like a car showroom, especially when interacting with the dealership NPCs.
I would like to see unique backdrops or maybe a way to toggle different lighting settings when customizing your car.
Customizing your car, especially paint options, is extremely expensive, and the way it looks in the preview never looks "right" when you actually spawn the car on the map, as a lot of the paint options act very differently in sunlight or artificial light sources compared to the preview screen. I have wasted multiple 100s of thousands on car paint that I thought looked awesome in the menu, but once I spawned the car, it didn't look as expected. Now I have access to multiple unmarked police cars I use to test paint before applying it to cars, but not everyone has access to that.
Why should this be added?:
- People will have a better idea of what their car will look like when driving it around before spending thousands on it
- The current backdrop only really fits the City Garage spawn on V6
What negatives could this have?:
- The classic dev time; however, there are already showroom-esque podiums with display cars in the current dealership that could be utilized? The lighting there gives a much better idea of what the car will look like.
What problem would this suggestion solve?: All of the above
