Ford GT LM Race Car Spec II (Livery)

ford gt gran turismo lm race car spec ii prostreet

Info

Almost as iconic as the BMW M3 GTR, I bring you the famous Ford GT, flagship car of the legendary "Gran Turismo" franchise in it's three variants: LM Race Car, LM Race Car Spec II and Spec II Test Car
This car is a fictional racing version made to commemorate Ford's legacy at Le Mans and its 4 victories in the mythical endurance event, which coincidentally, is also the number of games Gran Turismo had been running so far, making a double reference in the number 4 that the car carries.

Necessary programs

Installation

1. Open Binary and use the "user mode".
2. Enter "Install Script", select "ProStreet Binary Install.end", save and open the game.
-The livery install takes much longer than usual, so if you don't get the message to save the files or to open the game right away, don't panic, just wait for Binary to tell you what to do.
3. Once in the game go to the car you want to install the vinyl on, enter any blueprint and then open Car Customizer.
4. In Car Customizer, click on "File", "Open", find the folder "Car Cus files" of the .rar and choose the preset of your preference
5. Go back to the game and that's it!

Warning:

Always backup your files before installing this or any mod. This mod modifies "LIVERYTEXTURES.BIN", in the CARS\VINYLS folder of your game.
It is likely that even though you have done all the steps well, the livery is not showing up when applying the .nfspscd. So far I don't have the concrete answer or solution to this error, so make sure you run Binary in administrator mode and have the game folder in an unrestricted location in your PC.
Both the modifications and the vinyl itself almost never show up the first time, so go in and out of Showcase mode a few times until you see that the car parts have changed
The vinyl itself may take a while to appear, so if in the seconds after the parts have changed the vinyl doesn't appear, wait about a minute for the vinyl to appear.
Car Customizer does not have an option to choose which specific parts export, so everything in the .nfspscd will completely replace what is in the car (even if you only changed a set of rims lol), so I highly recommend installing this livery on a separate car if you care about losing the modifications made on your current car.
The car is already pre-modified with stage 4 parts
The livery only works for the car it was made for, if you try to install this livery on another car it simply will not show up. Also, it was made to fit specific parts that mimic the car it is based on. You can make any changes you wish, but it is likely that the livery will not fit well with other body kits.

There's a lot of screenshots, so if you wanna see the full showcase, see this imgur post
Also, the car actually uses stock rims, i used Archie's Rims Pack for the showcase because it looks closer to the actual car

LM Race Car

As initially stated, this version was made to commemorate both the release of the new Ford GT and its victories at Le Mans, and the best way Polyphony Digital thought of was to imagine a Le Mans-ready version and give it the mythical Gulf livery that it carried on the GT40. Coincidentally, Ford released in 2006 the "heritage" version that does exactly this, but with the difference that it is only a completely stock Ford GT, and that the number was optional for the buyer (and had no Gulf logos).

LM Race Car Spec II

In keeping with this idea of "What if a modern Ford GT competed at Le Mans today?", Polyphony raised the bar further with Spec II, giving it more aggressive aerodynamics with a huge wing and a new Gran Turismo/Polyphony-themed livery.

LM Race Car Spec II Test Car

The latest iteration of the LM Race Car, one more version with even more aggressive aerodynamics (adding canards) and this one being now completely made of carbon fiber.
