Forza Horizon 3 has a robust toolset to make custom paint jobs for your needlessly expensive collection of cars. But if you're like me and lack artistic talent and/or the patience to make anything ambitious, you'll have to turn to the thousands of uploaded custom designs made by other players. 

Many of them are beautiful, ridiculous, or downright impressive, but Forza's built-in systems for finding more than what they automatically recommend is lacking to say the least. For example, each design is rated by popularity, but I couldn't actually find a way to sort by the most popular skins—and the search tags seem unhelpful, as using the "Realistic" tag yielded mostly solid gold lambos.

So we gathered our favorite designs we've found while driving across the Australian outback, and put them all in one place for you. Some of them we love for the absolute silliness of the concept, others are just amazing to look at, but they all make us happier to have them on our cars. If you have the car it goes with (and we mostly tried to choose slightly more common options), you can head into the design section of the garage and search by the creator and design name to track it down for yourself.
