led light strip in that street racing clip, car customization might be deeper than we thought

Caught something in the extended look today that I haven't seen anyone else bring up. Around 20:20 in the street racing segment, the car has what looks like an LED light strip or bar mounted in the rear window. Took me a few watches to notice it, but it's definitely there.

That little detail has me thinking car customization in GTA 6 could go way beyond what we got in V. We already know from the trailers that the car scene in Leonida is a big deal, street racing, tuner culture, all that. But an LED strip in the back window feels like the kind of small, almost cosmetic touch Rockstar usually skips. If they're including stuff like that, I'm expecting underglow, interior lighting, maybe even animated light patterns. The modding community on PC has been doing this for years, so seeing it baked into the base game on console would be huge.

My main concern is storage. I want to actually collect cars this time, not just have a garage with six slots and then have to sell something every time I find a new ride. TGG mentioned in one of his videos that buying garages is confirmed, which is good, but nobody's said how many vehicles we can store total. If it's like GTA Online where you can own multiple properties and each has a set number of slots, that could work. But if it's one garage with ten cars and that's it, I'll be annoyed. The map is huge, there are going to be dozens of cars worth keeping.

I also hope the customization isn't locked behind some weird progression system. In V, you could do a lot but it felt shallow after a while. Performance upgrades were just bars, visual stuff was limited to a few presets. If GTA 6 has actual part swapping, different light setups, window tints, maybe even custom plates with more characters, that would make the car scene feel alive. The LED strip is a small thing but it suggests they're paying attention to the details car people actually care about.

Anyway, go check the clip yourself if you haven't. It's easy to miss because the action is fast, but pause it right around 20:20 and look at the rear window. Curious if anyone else spotted other small customization details in that same scene or elsewhere in the extended look.
