I understand this........ but I guess my question is how do I use it....... example: if I want to alter or edit something on my car or any car for that matter an existing car for br12 mod and continue using it.....how do I do this using car viewer? I guess i'm saying i dont know how to use it.

I dont have br12 mod up and running but if it's like br11 you should download the the x-files for br12 and extract to any folder. This will create 4 subfolders (one for each make) in that folder, drop the carviewer.exe in there too so you have the exe and 4 subfolders there. That's it for preparations.
When you start painting and need to check something, save a copy of your paint as card.bmp in the folder of the carmake you're painting (say yes to overwrite).
Next fire up carviewer.exe and under File you'll have Open Direct X Mesh. Browse to the folder of the carmake you painted, select the x-file and you should see the paint
When you change something in your paint you don't have to go through all the steps again, once you have the paint loaded you can just save a new copy and refresh in carviewer by ctrl + r

I just went on vacation today so if the above is unclear I'm just gonna blame it on the beer

If it's for BR12 you can find them here BullRing Motorsports (called bullring-12-cup car viewer)
