100% behind this. It would be a great feature and would bring a lot more customization to gear choices, even if all it did was Display/Hide certain sections of gear. They don't even have to make separate armor models or animate moving parts like /visor -- just have a toggle to have bits show or not show (essentially make parts of the texture invisible). I mean, we can already display/hide our helmets. Is it that much more work to display/hide parts of gear? We can dye armor different colors -- what if one of those colors was "clear," and it applied to specific sections?

If they wanted to get more elaborate with the system later, with things like glowing gems that change color, or whatever, that would just be another cool perk. I think it would be really neat -- but of course, like others, I don't realistically see SE caring about this or implementing it.
