Whenever I buy a new ship type, I always buy the ship kit for it. It's a fun way to customize it, for me. However, I'm rarely looking at my ship from the outside. 99% of my experience of my ship is sitting in the cockpit and seeing the hologram (attitude/shields, landing alignment, etc.) rendition of it. That's always kind of a bummer after you've just bought a fun ship kit and spent a bunch of time figuring out an arrangement that you like. It would make a subtle but surprisingly satisfying difference if those features were reflected in the ship holos in the cockpit.
Ship kits reflected in HUD holograms

I like this. It's a small, positive change that shouldn't be too hard to implement and has no downside for any other players.
Could possibly give a 'show ship kit yes/no' option for the hologram on the other side, showing your target ship, just in case anyone prefers the clean look.

Why do we even need the holo ship? What is for? How does it help me?
Well, the holo ship that's displayed when landing is really helpful. The one inside the shield rings is probably to a great degree just there to make the shield ring display more contextually meaningful. It does show you a little information about how you're moving/tilting/etc., though. I mean, it showed me how jerky turning vertically with a trackball is.

The holo ship also shows the direction of incoming fire on the hull and shields, so can help you reorient to attack the attacker, or defend oneself.
You can twerk your ship to the music you are listening to while in supercruise. Grind those thrusters!
