Mod names showing NULL

Shop labels in carcols.meta are text keys, not the names players see. A key that is not registered shows as NULL in the mod shop.

Fix

Register each label from a client script in the vehicle resource:

AddTextEntry('EXAMPLE_BIG', 'Big Blower')

The first value is the label key from the mod kit; the second is the name players see. Restart the resource after adding entries.

Also check that fxmanifest.lua loads the files, or the mod kit itself is missing:

data_file 'CARCOLS_FILE' 'data/carcols.meta'
data_file 'VEHICLE_VARIATION_FILE' 'data/carvariations.meta'

The Modkit Editor shows every label key in a kit, and its guide covers building one.
