Under the Hood. Part 4

Snapshot Pro
Building a killer car is only half the battle — you still have to show it off to the whole world. That's why we're introducing Snapshot Pro — a mode where you can take stunning photos of your favorite car.

Open your phone and select Snapshot Pro mode. You'll be able to view the car from different angles and adjust parameters like depth of field, brightness, contrast, vignetting, saturation and more. You'll also be able to apply some standard filters that will instantly give your car a great look.

Here are a few shots we took in Snapshot Pro, and we can't wait to see yours!

Publishing wraps
Ever since the game launched, we haven't stopped marveling at the talent and creativity the Need for Speed community shows when creating wraps. We've seen wraps inspired by past NFS games, comics, movies and plenty of others.

One of the features players asked about most often was publishing wraps, so we're adding a new function to this section: browse and download wraps published by other players. If you've created a wrap, just mark it as shared and other players will see it.

To download and apply a community wrap, you just need to go to community wraps in the paint and wrap section, find the one you want and press the download button. Once downloaded, you can install it on your car and even tweak it if you like.

Personalization items
We see that your interest in personalization isn't fading, so we're not going to stop at the Legends update and are including over 100 more new personalization items in this update.

In total, new parts will appear for eleven new cars:
- Ford Focus RS
- Chevrolet Camaro Z28
- BMW M3 E92
- Ford Mustang Boss 302
- Ford Mustang Foxbody
- Ford Mustang GT
- Mazda MX5 (2015)
- NISSAN 180sx Type X
- NISSAN Silvia Spec-R
- SUBARU BRZ Premium
- SUBARU Impreza WRX

Online play
Want to test your strength against other players? We've added a "Competition" function to the main menu. Select it to meet other racers who are also up for a challenge. Or choose AllDrive and dive into the turbulent world of Need for Speed.

License plates
Now you'll be able to personalize your car's license plate, giving you even more options to make it unlike any other.

Backgrounds from previous NFS games will be available to choose from, such as Redview, Fairhaven, Palmont City, Rockport, Olympic City, Bayview and Tri-City. Give your plate a finished look by picking a frame to go with it.

Gas stations
Those who played previous versions of NFS already know about gas stations and that you can repair your car at them. The NFS community asked us to bring this feature back to the game. You missed it so much — instead you had to get to the garage in a car wrecked in races.

So now you can repair your car for free at all gas stations in Ventura Bay. Just drive through them and it will look as good as new. And to help you even more, we'll mark all gas stations on the map.

New awards and achievements
We're adding three new awards and achievements to the game. Try to earn them all:

• Filter Fanatic. Take a photo in Snapshot Pro mode with a filter applied.
• Wrap Master. Share a wrap with the Need for Speed community.
• Ranking Up. Reach a monthly rank of 10 by completing daily challenges.
