Band of Others Racing, 2027 Ford Mustang GT3 livery, really, really, really hope you guys like this.

The livery is event ready but I ran out of time to complete IMSA version so I'll attach both .tga and .mip here which you'll have to upload to your Trading Paints accounts individually.

Apologies for the inconvenience but updating this livery to the new color scheme and overall aesthetic ended up taking twice as long as expected.

Lastly, the red detail slated for the rear-end is actually covered up by carbon. I'll look into adding some type of red detail later, for now, this will have to suffice.

Audi 90 GTO comparison images.

I've 2 versions of the new Audi that I'd love your feedback on.

The left side of the car has little in the way of detailing while the right side has black bumper plus black and white under headlight detailing.

If you don't mind, please provide feedback on whether black and white detailing is your preference or plain.

Choices being:

• Detailing (black and white)
• No detailing (plain)

Popular choice determines how I progress.

Black and White:

Front with both Black and White and Plain.

Plain: No Detailing

I'd personally prefer the left side. To me the headlights look better with only a thin border around them.

I lied to you guys, I'm a little behind in livery completion.

The Audi 90 is progressing however I'm unsure as to when it will actually be complete at this time? Unfortunately, I don't think it will be done for Week 1, maybe for Week 2?

I'll update as I know more.

Apologies.

No worries, I'll be racing the Audi all season.

Just a quick note, the red has been bothering me on this livery since posting these images and now I know why, I used the wrong red like a dumbass.

Instead of FF0000, I used CD0000 which is a little darker.

Corrected version coming soon.

Audi 90 GTO with chrome headlight covers.

I know you guys preferred no headlight detail so I left them mostly untouched with the exception of the eyebrows. The hood striping was really beefy compared to the red headlight striping. In the interests of better balance, I thinned the red hood stripe slightly at the front to better tie in the with the red headlight striping.

Headlights are easily recolored so you can have any color you wish.

How does one go about downloading this sexy Audi paint?

I'll add the files here tonight and once you guys validate happiness, I'll upload to Trading Paints.

 

[Kenadian]

Here's the files guys, sorry for the delay.

Please upload to your Trading Paints account and let me know your final thoughts on the liveries. If you think they're good enough, I'll upload to the Band of Others (Ken Lindberg) Trading Paints and Publish under the 2027 Band of Others Endurance Liveries Collection.

@Skid_Marc_, I need to spend a few hours with you in Discord as I want your opinion on buttoning up the Ferrari, McLaren and Ford GT3 liveries.

Then, I'll probably tackle the Mercedes AMG GT3 as I don't see a new version coming anytime soon and I really love the car.

Then I'll hop back onto the priority list you both suggested.

 

[Kenadian]

Just out of curiosity, what do you think of these headlights, chrome with white B2O Logo?

 

[Skid_Marc_]

How does the B2O look in red? Too gaudy? Or the light blue? I might match the wheels to the light blue, so I'm just curious. If so, I like the white version just fine!

 

[Kenadian]

The red headlight B2O looks better than the blue in my opinion but the blue is more subtle.

Hex Color Codes:

• Blue: 00C3FF, Chrome
• Red: FF0000, Chrome

 

[Noodleguitar]

It looks good

On the topic of headlights, I think I prefer them without the B2O logo on. I haven't tried it in-sim but I think it would look weird since the headlights are reflective.

 

[Kenadian]

Thanks for the feedback @Noodleguitar.

I'm unsure about the headlights myself. I just remember seeing it in a few vids years ago and thought I'd try it here.

I wonder if the B2O Logo would look better on black headlights?

I wonder if the B2O Logo would look better on black headlights?

Say what you want about NASCAR's fake headlight stickers, but, as someone who had to live through 90's NASCAR and black-out headlights, I despise the look of blacked-out headlights.

I actually really like the Blue B2O version. When I first loaded it, I was questioning if I had the right one or not, but then that actually made me like it more. I think it's a nice "ghost" feature that is there up close, but doesn't really change the look of the car, as it gets lost in the reflections.

But you put the red version, with red rims and numbers, and that thing isn't getting missed, either, so I dig having the different looks. If we were running a team race, or maybe for a special race (like under the lights at Daytona, soon?), I'll have to break that one out, but the blue one is the one I'll roll with!

Appreciate the effort, Ken!
