Not sure if i'm the only person who does this, But i've made some skins that only I use, Hence "personal" skins.
If any of you guys have any personal skins post here

o_O How did you get the car to open like that? And, apparently, the lights can turn on and off, too?
EDIT: Figured it out

How'd you get the lines to glow like that? Is there a tutorial somewhere, or at least an easy way of explaining it?

Tutorial: Not that I know of.
How I did it? You have to use two files, the DetailsDiffuse.dds file (for the color change) and the DetailsIllum.dds file (for the glow). What you're looking for is the semi-thin silver strip that's in between the trunk and the chassis (on the Diffuse file). It is, by default, the same gray as the rest of the metal around the car. Originally, I thought it was just a strip above the trunk, but when I recolored it, it recolored all the seams, so I decided to go with it. Here's the steps I use in GIMP (If you have Photoshop it might be a bit different).

1) Put a box around the strip (as precisely as possible)
2) Fill that box with the "Multiply" interpolation (so it keeps the shading it was previously)
3) Open the DetailsIllum.dds file.
4) Copy the DetailsDiffuse.dds file as a new layer onto the DetailsIllum.dds file.
5) Cut out whatever changes you made from the diffuse file that you'd like to make glow in the illum file. In this case, that rectangle.
6) Go to your illum layer and paste it in. I do it this way so that it lines up exactly with the diffuse file. The two are copies of each other, and so if they don't line up, your glows won't, either. (If anybody knows a quicker way of doing this, lemme know.
7) Edit the alpha channel to make it glow. So, with the box still selected, go into the alpha and make it gray. The darker, the more it glows.
8) Delete the un-needed extra diffuse layer from your illum file, save them, move them into your skin file of choice, and you're good to go

Any questions? Ask away, and I'll be happy to help.

I like how simple your skin is Macgta, here's my "personal" car, RoguematicII (2). If the some parts look weird it's because DDS really hates my shade of grey:




Looking at wolle's car has sort of inspired me to so something to my car's engine...

(also can anyone tell me how to open the doors, bonnet, etc?)
