What do you mean. Be a bit more clear.
Is it a 3d model/in-game steering wheel.
Where did you download it from. What do you mean download.

It is a 3d model that is in game and I hoped it would work for the FBM.
I downloaded it from an lfs forum.
It was a zip that i pressed download on.
I used it as a dds file but I am not quite sure where to put it.
Any tips?

You should just replace the original lfs dds files with the ones provided in the zip, but please first make sure to find all the original ones and back them up shall you decide to go back to original models. I think it should be in dds folder. If not, then just do a search in lfs folders for the files names you have in the zip, you should be able to find original files quickly.

rane_nbg is correct up there.

But for future reference that is not a model its a texture/skin(better call it a texture)

To install follow theese rules.

1.) Locate your lfs directory. All paths from now on will be relative to the lfs folder.
2.) Locate the data/dds/ directory.
3.) Locate the files that you want to replace and back them up.
4.) Drag and drop your textures inside the data/dds/ folder and replace all

That should do it.
