I only hope for less diamond plate.

Also have the entire trim be so it does not have to be chrome.

For the love of all things please add the option to put the turbo wing on the low top sleeper.

That was one thing I never understood why it wasn't possible as a standard but hopefully the rework and TLC fixes that.. hopefully X-Mas stream brings some joy

Very informative video on how to spec a truck - 2.5 million ways to spec a Peterbilt (yikes!)

9 parts with 5 options each = 1.9M options, so it really doesn't take many options to make 2.5M combos.

If we are getting an update to the 389 I only have one major request. Can we please get the paint jobs fixed. Pretty please. In game painting the fender only paints half of it and no truck in real life has ever been painted in this manner. When selecting a different color for the fender from the hood the entire fender should be painted the same color (the fender is a 100% separate piece from the hood on 389's and is why they are always removed and painted in this manner)

2 quick examples.

other small ideas would be adding the extra add-ons for the "Pride and Class" truck trim as well as the 389X (though 389X's are only a 2023 thing and thus only came with the upgraded digital dash newer Petes now have. (which you could also add as an option))
The Legendary Teal image below is a Pride and Class truck
389X Truck (this just happens to be a Legedary Red/Champagne color combo)
Digital dash

Could also add this color as a custom paint color (Peterbilt has special paints called the legendary series) Legendary Teal is just a happy accident I swear. As it has a color change effect, where the other Legendary ones don't. They all just have glass in the paint to make it shimmer more.

you might be able to get something like this with stock in game colors I am unsure, but either way it's just my favorite Peterbilt color I have ever seen from the factory by far.

Absolutely agree to all these, The P&C version has one of the best grilles same with 389X I've wanted it since it arrived, the paintjob of Legendary red style with the tan is gorgeous Always liked it I am sure if we get a TLC update it'll have the same outlines, well least I hope and of course all the trimmings of a separate fender faring color too. KW900 got loved up pretty good.. I fully imagine the P389 shall too

Def want those Chrome Fenders and that Hood emblem trim. I've added a couple more images to my set of album so def hope SCS regularly checks it

Another thing I want to touch on (may have already been discussed previously) is in regards to the breather bars that normally have lights on them but can also come without lights (independent of which style cleaner chosen).

Such bars could then have nodes on them to add any number of lights (1 thru 5) in different styles (watermelon, mini-watermelon, etc.)

A node on the corners of the bumpers could be added to add bumper brackets in order to mount watermelon lights on the (https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=8 ... =870&dpr=1).

Some bumper options also have round / tapered / squared edges that allow such lights.
