i want to add some of the narrow style pop up lights to my skin (i know the lights dont actually pop up) but i was thinking i could find a pic with the suitable lights and "borrow" them. the problem is.. unlike when your playing the game, when editing the skin i cant see where the outline of the lights are on the front so i havent got a clue where to put the lights.. is there an easy way round this or is it trial and error?

There is indeed. Click the link below, register to join the masterskinnerz forums, look for the section on skinkits and download the photoshop document that contains a high res skin template with wireframe overlay for the car you want. That way, you'll be able to see where the individual polygons are and map your changes accurately. If however you don't have photoshop or an application that can read one of its files which is multi layered, then sorry it's trial and error.

Doesn't it show it on the default skin? Might be very faint, but I'm sure the outline is there.. (Of course, the skin kits will make it easier )
