New Core Features
Window Decals
After years of requests, you can now apply decals to all windows on nearly every car. This opens up possibilities for full-car wraps that integrate the glass and body into one seamless design.
Enhanced Materials
Headlights and taillights now use refraction-based shaders that add authentic depth. New “candy” and metallic finishes give you vibrant, eye-catching base colors for any style.
Improved Forza Aero
Front splitters and rear wings, including the new “gooseneck” style, are now tailored to each car’s body lines. These parts are fully paintable, letting you match or contrast them with your main design.
Vinyl Finishes
Toggle finishes on individual vinyl layers—semi-gloss, full gloss, or matte—without needing complex masking. This makes it easy to add texture and depth to your designs.
Advanced Design Techniques
Mixed Wheel Colors
Apply different wheels or colors to the front and back of your car. This small change gives your vehicle a more aggressive and custom look.
Layer Importing
Import vinyl groups from Forza Horizon 5 or Forza Motorsport to keep your signature designs consistent across games.
Bespoke Aero Painting
Paint specific parts of aero components, like end plates on rear wings, to complement your overall theme and make your car feel cohesive.
Pro Tips for Mastering Designs
Save Your Palette
The new “favorite colors” feature lets you save your custom palettes. This ensures consistent branding across multiple cars in your garage.
Leverage Refraction Effects
Experiment with headlights that feature “rainbow shimmering” iridescence. This subtle detail can make modern supercars look high-tech and dynamic.
Use Aero Parts as Anchors
Because aero parts now follow unique body lines, treat them as guides for your livery. Align lines and decals to these parts so your design feels integrated, not just slapped on.
