They're finally done. With 10 to choose from for 4 different consoles.

You can !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , with 10 designs from the Calder Art Car CSL, 555 Subaru, Gulf GT40, Martini, 787B and a few more. Each design had to be mapped to each controller, as you can see they're slightly different.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

They're simple peel and stick high gloss vinyl.

The final product may vary slightly in production, but that happens.

Also, already working on a 2nd series of 10, including Corvette Racing, and the Hippie 917. So watch out for those soon.

I found out recently that this wasn't going to make it to production. These controllers help soften the blow.

Nice. I like 'em. Might have to get a XBone pair of Martini and Alitalia.

Can you post multi-angle sets of photos of the overlays in use?

Sweet lady. I'm so tempted. If I might make a Series 2 suggestion, Falken Tire might look good.

That was a bit of a joke anyway (a sick, sick, ultra-sick joke), I imagine, with some boutique friends of Playground or Turn 10 or someone making up a sick prototype. Yeah, I would've bought 2 probably. Imagine if they'd had light coming through the bumpers instead of paint.

Tell you what though... this thread makes me want to skin the entire XBone, which wouldn't be too tough since its base layer is white.

Careful what you do. Results vary.

Since you're obviously a gamer and like Forza, let me ask you a question: do you ever scratch your head at why a developer gives away free Lamborghinis, Ferraris, etc. in-game? It's always made them feel less exotic, like there was no time invested in actually having one. I mean, feel free to give me a M1 barn find or a $10,000,000 vintage Aston Martin or whatever, stuff that's either so reasonable or so fantastically expensive that receiving it free is a convenience , but don't do it with the Huracan and similar cars that should have a "do I really want to spend an hour's worth of gaming on this?" question as the price tag.

Never saw that: cool stuff. That Horizon box was drool-worthy. Very nice.

And with the exception of the XBones that looked they simply had a DVD box emblazoned on half of the console (omg, especially that Awesomes one where you would have to look at Seth Myers and Mike Shoemaker for the rest of the console's life, kill it with fire) most of those looked nice , even the Twitch one that reminded of Bronies.

Any word on number customization? I'll buy anyways but that'd be the icing on the cake.

I NEED this in my life.

I'm not sure. Forza 2 was my favourite economy as buying a car felt so much more satisfying like you had put in the hours in a 9 to 5 as opposed to Forza 3 onwards where it felt like you were a billionaire playing with your toys.

Considering I have managed to fill the garage limit/ buy all the cars in the game for every game Forza 2 onwards I just see it as money saving.

The whole car give away thing really started seriously with Forza 5 and that is probably overcompensation for the whole Micro transaction fiasco.

One of my more country oriented students pointed out that NASCAR livery might sell really well in certain circles too.

Yeah, thinking of some for the next series, Vintage ones mostly.

Don't know why I didn't think of Falken in the first place, definitely going to be in the 2nd series.

Probably when the 2nd series is done, I'll open them all up to customization. Just takes some messing about with layouts and whatnot.

Thanks, and I'll see what I can do with different angles. Once they come in for my controller I'll post up some shots.

Yeah, I'm sure my parents' farm manager would pay a bundle for Wisconsin Dick Trickle livery. There's a lot of people who love racing who'd dig these for consoles I bet.

Completely understandable, thanks for doing all this. These are some seriously good-looking designs man.
