Wide Body Cars shouldnt be imports
Change Wide Body vehicles empire used to sell to a more modern system.
With the previous system of wide body cars you had to pay sometimes upwards of 10x the original cars cost to get a wide body version of it. I remember still seeing a lot of them sitting in empire never being sold becuase a lot lacked customization and everyone I talked to didn’t wanna pay that price for a wider car. Since empire imports is still gone atm I think changing the wide body system to not be imports but rather upgrades that can be done to the car.
The system would work like this
Buy car from LA that has the wide body option.
Go down to an auto mechanic shop and pay a mechanic to wide body your car. Have this take a day or two
The previous wide body’s were underused and had no desire to be bought. Wide bodying a car shouldn’t be something that’s imported but rather created in city by the mechanics who put RP towards it. The fee shouldn’t be small but it shouldn’t be anywhere near 8-10x the cost of the car.

Some tuner cars have the option to be widebodied at mech shops like the RT3000 etc. no reason we should have to pay 700k for a limited edition widebody drafter when we could just get it through rp.

its not because it's a "widebody car" its a different car in general. They are counted as imports and outperform the other versions. As they are not default GTA cars we put them in the import shop for that reason. These cars do have extra polys as well which is another reason they are limited.

Buying a Drafter, keeping it for a bit then heading to Bennys or another mech shop dropping it off so it can be “worked” on for a day or two provides way more roleplay then just going to empire to buy the same car but Wide bodied.

Wide body cars are still streamed assets and are considered imports as they’re not base game vehicles.
This suggestion has been rejected.

I think mechanic shops should be able to offer it as a sellable kit, maybe something that costs materials and can improve certain cars.

Would love to see more wide body cars as well, always thought it didn’t make sense to have them behind empire and not a mech shop.

Massive +1. Wide body’s shouldn’t be something limited so much as an import or be anywhere near as expensive. For the same car that someone can buy from La
