Request: Can we get a cleanup pass on the generic kits and armor costume pieces?

You folks have, to your credit, been working on bringing older content up to match the same standards of visual quality that you've got right now, and it's awesome. As someone who's enjoyed using those old kit and armor suit costume pieces that used to be linked to what kits and armors you had equipped in your loadout, it would be great if you guys could add those pieces to your upgrade list at some point. I've tried to compile a list of some of the current issues with the pieces below.
Model Issues, Female:
-The panels along the side of the torso on Security 2 and 3 and Tac Soldier 3 chest gear are not aligned with the character's torso.
-Security 1 for right arm and Security 2 for left arm are not aligned with the character's arms and clip into her shoulders.
-Security 1 collar is too far forward and clips into the back of the character's neck.
-Tac Soldier 1 for both left and right shoulder are too low and clip into the character's shoulders.
-Eng Combat 4, Special Forces 1, and Tac Soldier 3 belts clip into the character's legs.
Model Issues, Male:
-Special Forces 3 and Tac Soldier 2, 3, and 4 for right wrist clip into the character's hand.
-The panels along the side of the torso on Security 2 and Security 3 chest gear are not aligned with the character's torso.
-Security 1 collar is too far forward and clips into the back of the character's neck.
-Special Forces 2 on left shoulder has what looks like a random polygon shooting out the side.
-Tac Soldier 2 for both left and right shoulder clip into the character's shoulders.
-Eng Fabrication 1, 2, 3, and 4 clip into the character's hips and legs.
Texture Issues:
-Multiple kit pieces have metallic parts that do not have unified textures with the other pieces, including pieces out of the same set. For example, the metal chestplate on Security 3 chest gear is arbitrarily darker than other armor pieces. Tac Soldier 2 shoulder pads for both left and right do not match the rest of the Tac Soldier set.
-Some pieces, such as the Eng Combat 2 chest gear and Tac Soldier 3 belt, have incorrectly assigned color selectors, so you can't recolor them without swapping to a different piece first.
-Some pieces have faulty glowing elements. Security 1 for right shoulder has a glowing element that cannot be recolored, while Eng Technician 1 looks like it's supposed to have a glowing element yet isn't using the glow color palette.
Personal Recommendations: These next few are not bugs or errors, just things that could be added/modified to make these outfits even more versatile.
-Change the glowstrips on the alpha armor suits to an overlay that can be applied on top of the beta and gamma armor suits. That way, you can pick your style of armor suit (metallic plates vs. nonmetallic and the color configuration) and then throw glowstrips on it if you want them. It would work similar to the Herald undersuit, where the glowing, moving colors can be applied on top of the outfit.
-Unify the KDF and Federation versions of the outfits, so they use the same color palette. Why can't the Feds have red or orange glows on their armor? Why can't the KDF have any form of green on their armor?
I'm sorry if this sounds like I'm nitpicking. I've liked using these outfits for the longest time and would really like to see them get some TLC. I happen to know there's plenty of other people out there who'd appreciate some updates to these as well.
