NFSMW Bonus Car Presets Mod

Need For Speed Most Wanted Bonus Cars Pack

This mod aims to improve the Bonus Cars section.
Have you noticed that of the 29 cars available in the Bonus Cars section, and aside from the Blacklist Bosses cars, you get some random Black Edition pre-tuned cars and a few of the customization slots used on stock cars with nearly stock performance.
Well, this is the mod for you!

The purpose of this mod is meant to improve the presets by adding new presets, along with some vanilla presets to the Bonus Cars section, using the BonusCars.ini, as well as replacing stock-ish presets with special presets that use certain Add-On or Extra Customization cars.

The following presets are replaced by this mod:

@KylaAngelineKZYeng Alright!
Can you credit me as Kızıl Comet for making you the presets of Reiji and Kuru, and optionally add BlackPanthaa's Skyline too?
