ive installed B345T's Lexus LFA NFSU2 Style, and when i select the car to customize it, it appears like this, anything to fix this? and this is my 99th addon car, so is strange to why it would appear like this

I think you have reached DBModelParts limit. If you happen to hit it, you may need to manually edit every vanilla playable car's DBModelParts to remove cop damage (listed before any bodykits), attachments, and references to the non-existent 6th bodykit, as long as vanilla car hasn't been replaced with its EC version.
You may also refer here: https://www.nfsaddons.com/forums/index.php?topic=2714.0

I suppose the game loaded the non-existent 5th bodykit, while I had only 4 in mind, as my Evo III I converted from Drift Spirits (and having bodykits from XD and HS versions) once replaced Viper. I think I didn't remove 5th bodykit from my Evo III's DBModelParts.

Yes, download server 1.9.3 (or any for that matter), and if you use latest Java8u47x or whatever version it is, you have to edit "java.security" file in Program Files, Java, jre-versionnumber, lib, security directory. Search for "jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms" and delete both "TLSv1" and "RC4".

Or simply use Java8u202 version, you don't need to edit anything with that one.

I once used the "use Java8u202 version" method as one notable video I could ever find was about this method. For removing "TLSv1" and "RC4", this is something I've never heard of in my life. I gotta thank you for making my day and play NFS World Offline again.

How can I add extra fields to cars via VltEd?

Click the right mouse button on the node you want to edit and select "Edit fields".

[regardless]

If you're using ModLoader mods, this is something I cannot help you with if you don't know how to use NFS-CarToolkit, since it heavily depends on the person who made the car mod. The game has a hardcounted count of existing bodykits for specific cars to load for AI, but that does not mean you can't add, like, Body 5 to cars with 4 kits, though Body 5 will be ignored by the AI. And if actual kit model count is lower than the hardcoded count (5 for most of these vehicles, 4 for IS300, Punto, Golf, CTS, Gallardo, Viper, Corvette, 911 Turbo, and 2 for Murcielago, Ford GT, SLR, and Carrera GT), this problem happens. It can be avoided by giving a car a duplicate stock bodykit (like Typhoons and Dark Ritual did) or making a blank bodykit with the rest of the parts named differently (like I did with some of the past cars like Proto Motors Spirra and BMW Z8), but this requires modifying car's model file, which requires permission if it'll be released in public.
If you're using VltEd or OGVI, it is possible by adding "RandomOpponent" field to the car and setting it to "false" so no random opponents will use that specific car. A good example is that BMW M3 GTR Strassenversion (BMWM3GTR) does not have that field, so it can appear in races regardless of having Black Edition (it can be driven in Black Edition, but AI will use the car no matter which edition you're playing), while another Black Edition car, the Chevrolet Camaro SS (CAMARO), has this field and is set to "false", meaning that you can't encounter any AI racer using Camaro. Corvette C6.R will also appear as the "RandomOpponent" field is omitted, while other Bonus cars (SL65 and 911 GT2) have this field and, like Camaro, this field is set to "false".
If the car is based on Binary, you can remove "empty" bodykits by looking in DBModelParts of the car you want and using Ctrl+D to remove that part. Though you need to know how much kits this car has (if the car has only 3 kits, any kits after kit 3 (kit 4 and 5) need to be removed to solve this problem).
Sometimes, you might need NFSMW-ExtraOptions and/or NFSMW-Unlimiter and enable ExpandMemoryPools if the car model or textures are too big or highpoly for the game to handle, but this does not fix the problems I mentioned above.

Here's more: nfs.com.ru once had vinokurov GT-R's mods, but all of them are now considered as lost media (as long as it's not on Playground).
Oh, and I noticed that Teso's Moskvitch mod link is now broken as it sends Error 404. There are no archived links to this car sadly.
UPD: Also there was Bif B's older version of Lada Niva mod, which replaced SL500 instead of Lancer Evo 8, and Yakut's GAZ-24-01 (stock model) replacing Camaro. Sadly Bif B's updated Niva being one of few common mods you can find, thus making it lost media, and Yakut's Volga got accidentally replaced by Warlock's model on nfs.com.ru, but it almost became lost media, as nfs-fan already got it reuploaded.
UPD2: Talking about Teso, there's EVEN MORE that can't be downloaded anymore:
Lada 2101 NFS Hungary tuning
Lada 2101 GTS
Suzuki Swift
Dodge Neon
Fun fact: I once thought that his Lada 2101 are lost mods since there were YouTube videos featuring these cars, they were originally downloadable from NFS Hungary, but now the links are all dead. Hope for one day people will reupload such stuff.

Out of lost cars, I found Friendly Software's site, and found LAZ 699R by NightRaven (the one who brought one of few iconic Lancer Evo X mods for MW) and UAZ Classic (aka "Bukhanka") by RoadTrain (the same person who made VAZ-2123 Lada Chevrolet Niva for MW). I suppose the latter of which is the original UAZ 4x4/Classic mod before qtqkqn retextured it (supported by the fact that qtqkqn's UAZ's geometry file was compiled in September 2007, and ATTRIBUTES.MWPS file still has mentions of the original mod). Unfortunately, both of these mods are now considered lost media as I was unable to find any reuploads of these vehicles and we're stuck with qtqkqn's retextured UAZ Classic.

[did happen]

Just because some random virus application flags a non-virus as a virus doesn't mean that the file is not downloadable. When the link is dead, then it's not downloadable anymore WHEN archive.org didn't save it

True, but it's still quite sad that AV software do mess all of this up when it comes to nfscars archiving. My rim pack is still downloadable, but NFSU1 cars I uploaded on NFSCars are no longer downloadable on archived copy of the site due to inclusion of NFSU-CfgInstaller. It's like AV softwares do hate nfsu360 (the person who made NFSU1 ModTools, which would be eventually replaced with NFS-CarToolkit for geometry and textures, and NFS-CfgEd for wheel positions, which would be replaced by Binary), thinking he was making viruses/trojans/whatever despite the fact that this is just a false positive and his tools bring no harm to your computer.
Since NFSU-CfgInstaller is all the same, this affects every NFSU1 mod featuring that file in the downloaded archives. NFSU2 mods that originally used an older version of NFSU2-CfgInstaller, like all of SPYKE's and RuubW's mods, will disappear from the internet and become lost media afterwards if not saved in time due to false positives found in that tool, which, of course, did eventually happen in 2016 when NFSCars showed us the final redesign, and sadly, almost none of most of old modders have returned (except for cobra0281, and even then, their old missing mods were not even reuploaded, not even by themselves), and most of the modders back then didn't bother uploading their mods to anywhere else than NFSCars (remember: if you want to keep your mod online, remember to upload it on anywhere else as well, since uploading only on a site that will eventually shut down will turn the mod into lost media (especially if you eventually go dormant as well), which, of course, did happen with Driving Passion (formerly GTRCars), taking every Porsche4ever/VictorSE's and Normo's mods with it (Porsche4ever/VictorSE's mods would be later reuploaded to his own blog, while Normo didn't even resurface)).

The problem is that all of my NFSU1 cars are no longer downloadable from nfscars archive anymore, because it contained NFS-CfgInstaller that is recognized by Anti-Virus Softwares as virus, but this is actually just a false positive.

A static archive of NFSCars has got you covered:
https://www.nfs-cars.com/need-for-speed-hot-pursuit-2/4/downloads/authors/cars/1/U/
The site above contains content released up to 2021 because it is based on an archived copy of NFSCars contents as of 2021, anything beyond that year is now lost forever as long as it's not uploaded to NFSMods or NFSAddons.

From what I know, the only way to get rid of these cars is to make a new save game.

You cannot have that many cars actually, because DBModelParts limit has been reached and exceeded, and from that point on, the game will no longer allow you to add any more addon vehicles, as they will no longer be rendered after DBModelParts limit has been exceeded. The only way to resolve it is to remove some of the cars by either choosing to uninstall option of the car you want to uninstall or, if the car does not have uninstall option, remove them manually by removing their data from CarTypeInfos, Collisions, and DBModelParts from GlobalB using Binary and their nodes from pvehicle, ecar, and every performance nodes (brakes, chassis, engine, induction, tires, transmission; as long as no other car shares the same nodes) from Vlt using NFS-VltEd or Attribulator/OGVI.
You can also look deeper into vanilla cars' DBModelParts and remove any part that is not used by them. Vanilla racer cars don't have parts labelled DAMAGE_0, DAMAGE_1, and ATTACHMENTn in their models, and they don't have anything related to the KIT06 (the non-existing sixth bodykit), but they still have parts of it in form of Damage Scratches and Decals. You can also remove some bodykit slots not used by the car model itself:

• Most cars (20) have 5 bodykits, so listing them all would be pretty much exhaustive, and I would suggest you to not remove any bodykits
• 911TURBO, CORVETTE, CTS, GALLARDO, GTI, IS300, PUNTO, and VIPER all have 4 bodykits each, so you can remove every KIT05 part from DBModelParts
• CARRERAGT, FORDGT, MURCIELAGO, and SLR all have 2 bodykits each, so you can remove every KIT03 to KIT05 parts
• 911GT2, BMWM3GTR, BMWM3GTRE46, CAMARO, CORVETTEC6R, and SL65 all have no bodykit nor hood customization, so you can delete every KIT01 to KIT05 parts and every hood style except for KIT00_HOOD

Oh, and by the way, we already had a thread about it right here: https://www.nfsaddons.com/forums/index.php?topic=2714.0

The Roof Scoop marker should be assigned to KIT00_ROOF part. If the car model in question doesn't have one (i.e. roof model is merged with base model), you can just create a simple plane or cube inside the car model (more specifically in parts where that thing can't be seen, like under the wheel arches but placed on center on X (Left/Right) axis) and name it "KIT00_ROOF" (without quotation marks).
In the files I attached, you can see that my Audi S4's ROOF_SCOOP marker is attached to KIT00_ROOF part, and the roof scoop marker/mountpoint works as it should.
