Creating presets for NFS Underground 2 (or any Black Box NFS game) can be a time-consuming process given you have to type out in Binary every single part used for the car. However, I found a way to create presets from customized cars in save files; all you need is Binary and a hex editor.
First get in game and customize the car you are going to use as preset.
Open Binary, go into Modder Mode, make a new launcher .end file for NFSU2 or open up an existing one if you have one and go to the PresetRides Global\GLOBALB.LZC
Click on Add Node, type your preset name and click OK. You can also type add_collection GLOBAL\GLOBALB.LZC PresetRides <YOURPRESETNAME> (without the <>) in the right bottom script pane and press F5
Go to your newly created preset and change the MODEL value to the XNAME of the car your customized car (I’m using a Peugeot 206 for this example, its XNAME is PEUGOT; you can see each car’s XNAME in the CarTypeInfo node or in the CARS folder of the game)
With your preset node selected, click on Export Node and uncheck the Serialized option; click Export and save the preset file.
Go to Tools > Hasher and type <XNAME>_BASE (without the <>) in the Input field, copy the results of the Bin File field sans the 0x
With a hex editor (like HxD or FrHed) open your save file (usually located in the <your username\AppData\NFS Underground 2 folder), use the Find function to find the hex value you copied, select it and the data following it; you have to select up to 748 bytes (decimal, 2EC hexadecimal); copy the selected data.
Open the preset file with your hex editor and select the bytes from the 4C offset all the way to the end (should be totalling 748 bytes -decimal or 2EC hexadecimal-, same as the data you copied), then paste the data you copied on top of it.
Save your preset file.
Back in Binary, select the PresetRides node and click on Import Node. Select Override and click on Import, select your file and press OK. Save in Binary; your preset should be working.
