They are pretty similar, just remember that i heavily modified the pessima lights in here to fit better. they are a different shape.
Very true. I am by no means a professional at doing this kind of stuff. It'll be quite a long time until this is finally finished.
None yet. The next step for that is to adjust the jbeam to fit it. I haven't had the time recently to do so.
Also I feel the need to say this, just in case. Anyone and everyone is allowed to make skins and such for this mod. Included here (and in the OP) is a png with the UV layout for this. It was originally included with the mod but it must have gotten deleted during the updates. And I apologize for that.
I love this mod! I do always like a good restyle of a car. Though, one thing I did notice, the "Beater" configuration either has no "Dirty" paint job, or that particular paint job is just very poorly set onto the new body. I'd try to fix that, just to make the mod that much better.
It currently has no skin. I'm already bad at making skins, so I haven't taken the time to make a lousy dirty skin.
Even if it is lousy, it's just supposed to be dirt on the car, so it's not like there is some precise look that you need to go for. I'd say try it, and I would if I had the ability to, and I'd see what the rest of the people think of having at least some kind of dirty skin.
I don't think every beater vehicle has dirt on them, except rust, which is more real life thing, this shouldn't be a big problem with it.
Just a request you should make black sideskirts and black accents to the front bumper and black side mirrors
