How can someone make a suggestion to MakerWorld management? I think it would be helpful to have a category for automotive parts. That would be where I would look for replacement parts for my car that I could print. Example: I made a replacement plate for my 2009 Challenger console door. There a lot of parts made of plastic that we could print instead of purchase from a dealer. The plate for my car cost over $300 from Mopar but I made one that takes about a dime to print (yea, it took me probably 40 hours to design and test).
Just a thought.

This would be a cool category.
However there would have to be MANY caveats about material you use to print, and use around hot components. There are tons of people new to 3D printing without the required knowledge to parse through which designs should be used and stuff that is going to set fire to your car or cause it to seize up.
Lots of risks that I see
when you come near the moter it can be risky
There is already a Hobby & DIY | Vehicles category with a mixture of model/toy vehicles and automobile related accessories and parts.
Makerworld categories are a mess and after adding more it will still be a mess. Probably better off finding models by searching for tags.
