    I hope you don't mind me adding my contribution to this thread, as it should fit right in. I made this a few years ago. I'm not sure if I have to change anything with the alpha or anything like that with the newest version of the Howston.

    I'm doing this from work, and it look like my screen shots got removed. If somebody wants to post a couple for me, that would be great :)

    Again, great stuff Billyblaze!

    Hi pascom - to install 1. select any Howston Group 4 car (doesn't matter which one)
    2. press the tuning button

    3. now you are on the showroom screen - press create dir button
    4. once you create the directory you will see the path - exit the game and copy the skins into this directory
    5. enter the game and select the same car - then you can scroll through the variants and select the skin you want to use

    Hi Chris - I was planning on doing this one, but looks like you saved me the work (great job by the way!!)...to make the skin for DX11 you are supposed to add 2 effects layers to tone down the saturation
    • How to quickly update car skins / color maps; Open your file in Photoshop. On top of all layers add these two FX layers:
      [​IMG]
      They will be used to lower the white output and the global color saturation. Here is the skin before using the two FX layers:
      [​IMG]
      and here is the same skin with the FX layers setup:
      [​IMG]
      With these settings being used:
      [​IMG]
      And finally, here is a preview of the skin in-game, before and after the fix:
      [​IMG]
    ...i went ahead and did that to the .dds (i also resized it to 4K to match the others) - here it is
