Not sure if these were intentional or not but there are some odd things I find with this mod:
The headlight glow is a lot dimmer
The stock wheels are darker
The hood mounted heat extractors and radiator vent became shiny, almost looking like stickers
The chrome kidney grill textures aren't that consistent when changing hoods. It switches between being a flat shaded texture, a flat unshaded texture, or a 3D model

It's nice being able to change the parts on the car but these bits have been bugging me
