Well, we're able to convert dds files and edit them using photoshop or something else. Interior parts of all cars and head/taillights are available in those files. For example I edited XF GTi headlights to angel eyes, and taillights to led lights, added a GTI logo on the grills and an In-Dash LCD to interior. I guess some of you do similar editings too. But i wanna edit exterior and dds editing lets me only changing headlights or taillights. Anyone knows how can i edit a bumper or a hood? And if you got a program about exterior editing i'll be glad if you share it

You can edit hood textures with a car skin :) , but you can't change the real shape of it.

Erm, lots of people have asked this. Did you try searching?

Okay, you need nVidia's DDS Plugin for Photoshop, and either Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro. Then you just edit them like any other image.

If you don't have/can't get/can't afford Paint Shop Pro, there are dds converters, but I can't remember what they are called. But the information you need is on this forum somewhere - you just need to find it.
