Some notable presets that were added include NFSU Character cars (including entire Eastsiders Crew), NFSU EA Trax Artist Cars, NFSU1 PC Demo 350Zs, Player's 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec (R34), Sha_Do 2003 Nissan 350Z (Z33), Fast and Furious cars and one 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII (CT9A) from PS2 Demo.
Because of the 12-car limit in Sponsor/Bonus Cars section, all original Sponsor Cars have been disabled from being usable in the Bonus Cars section.
Also, if you have the Better License Plates mod, you can install an extra script that changes all presets to use named license plates (Some UG1 presets instead use UNDRGRND plate number).
Text changed from SPONSOR CARS to Bonus Cars, due to the newly added presets.

Installation:

To install the mod, just use Binary and select the Install NFSU2 Customization Plus.end. This will backup all your VINYLS.bin files before replacing it with the mod's VINYLS.bin files, then imports the new DBModelParts.bin files, and adds the new preset cars.

Afterwards, some pop ups would appear to decide whether you have certain mods and the choice of which cars you want to use in Bonus Cars.

Notes:
Samantha's Civic's spoiler (SPOILER_STYLE18) was the Grifter lip spoiler in UG1, It was overriden by the Specter (aka Slingshot in MW05). This Samantha Preset instead uses SPOILER_STYLE05 aka Flyte in UG1, Rocker 5 in UG2, or Tuner Barracuda in MW05, which is the closest spoiler to the original

Eddie, Melissa, Vortex and Samantha's presets have multiple variations in UG1 (eg. EDDIE_SKYLINE was for the AI variant, EDDIE_PRESET was for the one you unlocked with style points, while FE_SKYLINE was for the Skyline that appeared in the main menu)

Most UG1 unique vinyls have names coming from PSP NFS games, such as CUSTOM7 being named Afterburner in NFS Carbon: Own the City.

UG1 presets that used spoilers Duotek, Carbon-X or Supernova use the UG2 counterpart's carbon fiber variant.

It is required to use UnlockAllThings (F5) to enable the mod-exclusive Bonus Cars, as the cheat codes for the Bonus Cars are for the original Sponsor Cars in the vanilla game.

Certain presets based on the 2003 Nissan Fairlady Z/350Z (Z33) will be altered if you have installed the replacement version of the Extra Customization Showcase 350Z mod.

This will fix the missing fenders as well as altering certain 350Z presets to have 350Z badging instead of Fairlady Z badging. Also, any 350Z presets that use widebody kits now have 50mm wheel spacers

In addition, the aforementioned 350Z presets will also have attachments installed, along with HQ interiors if you have Extra Customization 350Z installed.

Any of the Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec (R34) presets will be altered to suit ARCHIE's mod if you have it installed. The mod will check if you installed the mod or not, and will give you the option to install the vanilla or ARCHIE version of the presets.

Supported mods:
This mod has special compatibility with the following mods, which may alter things done by the mod.
Olympic Imports: Enables presets for cars that were originally cut from UG2 that were present in UG1. The following UG1 cars have presets:
- 1998 Acura Integra Type R (Vortex)
- 2001 Mitsubishi Lancer ES (Todd)
- 1999 Dodge Neon Coupe (Klutch; UG1 Online Preset)
- 1999 Honda S2000 (AP1) (Chad)
The 2003 Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS (GD Bugeye) is the only one of the returning cars not to be used by any character.
1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec (R34): Mod by ARCHIE that overhauls the R34 along with it's customization, therefore altering every Skyline preset to fit with the mod.
2003 Nissan 350Z (Z33): Mod by nlgxzef that is the Extra Customization Showcase mod. Any 350Z presets (vanilla or added by Customization Plus) will be altered to fit the mod.

Strings for SPONSOR CARS in each language has been changed to Bonus Cars in the appropriate language. Uninstalling the mod will revert the changes.
