    Progress for the day:
    Added 1993-1994 body style
    Added 1993-1996 lower body panel trim with selectable trim and cladding colours (black, chrome, and painted)
    Added 1993-1996 Chevrolet block lettering on the grill
    Added chrome centre for the 6-slot chrome hubcaps
    Added 1993-1996 trunk trim
    Added 1993-1996 taillights with selectable trim colours (black, chrome, and painted)

    I'm surprised I finished working on the 1993 model year this fast. I plan on working on the 1994 model year's dashboard with a digital speedometer and odometer tomorrow.

    Progress for the day:
    -Added 1994-1996 dashboard
    -Added 5.7L LT1 V8 and 4.3L L99 V8
    -Added 1994-only Classic LS trim level badge to the fenders
    -Updated instrument cluster icons to be more accurate to the irl Caprice (It's hard to see, I don't have a high-resolution display)
    -Instrument cluster icons now light up when the car is started (Special thanks to inn0centjok3r for letting me use some of the LUA code from the Gavril Vertex!)

    Tomorrow, I plan on adding the 1995-1996 model year parts.

    Not gonna lie, your low resolution display makes every screenshot of this absolute cruiser period correct lol, I actually thought you edited the images to make it looks grainy and well, 90's.

    Wish you luck on remaking this iconic sedan.

    Hey guys, my apologies for keeping you in the dark regarding updates on the Caprice over the past few days. I've added many things to the mod during that time, though.

    Nice, I remember skins being kinda pixelated, will that be looked into or is that something you can't change?

    the interior texturing feels a bit sharp, id use a hair of blur on everything that is that classic gm textured plastic, and probably do the same to the normal map to reduce sharpness

    I'll see what I can do regarding skins. I'm not an expert graphic designer, so they might be considered subpar. But I won't add dozens of skins this time since I want the community to make skins, configs, and lightbars for irl departments like the LAPD or NYPD. I'll add a few that are references to pop culture, though. An example is the police car from Jumanji.

    What are your plans regarding light bars for police variants? Or is it just going to have the vanilla one?

    Only the vanilla BeamNG lightbars will be included to keep the file size low.

    I'm not adding fancy lighting setups, but I will add "wig-wag" headlights.

    It's a shame, as a seven-year-old boy I love flashing lights, but I appreciate you taking the time to watch this video.

    Now what about the detective variant? Even in the current version of the Caprice pack the detective variant only has wig-wag headlights. It's always been a annoyance how there isn't even a dashboard-to-roof mountable beacon light. I've always wanted to use the detective variant though there is no point when the only functioning emergency lights are wig-wags..

    Edit: I just realized the current caprice pack has custom lightbars to most of the police variants besides a vanilla lightbar on one of them.. You don't plan on bringing those back to the refresh?


    Also, you said your adding wig-wag headlights.. Could you make the tail-lights wig-wags too atleast?
