  • Vehicle Cores

  • Your most recent search is reflected in the URL of the page, so you can quickly and easily open the search in a different browser or share it with others.

  • We highly recommend waiting at least 60 seconds before retrying a search if no items were returned due to errors.

  • Added new Shop Listings pages to the Customization section.

  • When first selecting the Customization page from the main menu, click the View Shop Bundles button.

  • The list of Shop Bundles shows both HCS and non-HCS deals, their costs, and for how long they are usually available. As with most content lists on the site, filters can be used to refine this list to show, for example:

  • Unchecking a Source will remove all items obtained through that Source unless they are obtained through a different, checked Source.

  • Clicking the Deselect All button will uncheck all Source boxes, causing the list to completely empty.

  • Clicking the Select All button effectively removes Source filtering by including all Sources.

  • All Source changes affect results in real-time.

  • Note that almost all items currently fall into one of three categories: (Pending), Default, or Promotional. The (Pending) items will be reassigned to other Sources after launch once more information is available. Some items may also have more than one Source, particularly in the case of Promotional items.
