Mod Request: Type-66 "Javelina" Hood Fix

[JadedDragoon]

The Type-66 "Javelina" is supposed to be the ultimate badlands car... and it is... great handling, great off road suspension, plenty of acceleration and speed, solid armor, and that unique badlands style.

Just... one little problem. It's undrivable. Here, look... see that oncoming car?

Combined with the way the races force you into chase-cam at the start of every race, and the visibility problems with other cars and bikes... it's pretty clear CDPR assumed everyone would use vehicles in chase-cam mode and then threw first-person car driving in as an afterthought. Well I literally can't drive in third person mode... not without investing time in unlearning years of experience in various racing games... more time than I plan on even spending playing this game before I move on to the next thing. Chase-cam throws my timing off badly enough that, even with the absurdly forgiving driving mechanics of this game... i end up killing myself and pedestrians more often than I reach my destination. Yet, while in first person mode I can drive the Type-66 Avenger at top speed through the gaps between two rows of cars at a stoplight without getting a scratch on my paint and still not miss my turn (i am not exaggerating, I've done it at least twice. I've attempted it dozens of times... but I usually scratch my paint a bit). I promise you, the issue with driving in chase-cam mode is not a lack of driving skills for me... exactly the opposite.

The problem with the Javelina is this Militech component on the hood:

 

 

And the solution, in my eyes, is actually pretty simple... if you have the tools for it. The hood mesh needs to be flipped along it's horizontal axis relative to the windshield and the Militech logo flipped again (or rotated) so it won't end up backwards like one of those puzzles where you hold words up to a mirror to read them.I'd be fine with the Militech logo being mirror-puzzle'd if there's no way to really solve that.

Any chance of seeing this as a mod?
