This is half year old mod build, with properly working car paint system. Keep in mind that this mod mostly has only working street lights, and some textures ported from xbox 360, this is nowhere near level of NFSU2RTX mod. Also as you can see weather system doesn't works properly, as car windows tint.
But there is good news the guy called Big Boy is working on project, yes he is not sharing it until it's ready, but he doing huge job, upscaling all in game textures, and adding to them proper materials. (Hope it will happen soon - within a month)
The game was recorded in 4k, but my GPU is weak (3080ti), so I used ultra performance mode (720p internal resolution), to not drop under 30fps. The result didn't look as bad, because Ray Reconstruction (marketing name - DLSS 3.5) was enabled.
