and if they are not mips, what you do is save them as a flat image (either bmp or tga) open those with Winmip2 and save them as the mod correct .mip in the series folder (normally paintjob01.mip thru paintjob08.mip) keep in mind that most NR2k3 mods have different bodies so be sure to match your replacements to the make of the original paintjob.
