Use the "search" feature at the bottom of the page. Or, look at one of the hundreds of topics that were right infront of you when you made this topic.

 

Anyway, first, you're going to need the "IMG Tool". I don't have a link, just google it. Anyway, once you've got that, download your car.. Wait, why am I telling you? I know of a video on YouTube that shows you how.

 

Just remember, before you do ANYTHING, go to My Computor, then Local Disc(:C), then Program Files, then Rockstar Games, then right click your San Andreas folder. Go to Properties, and uncheck "Read Only". Press OK or Apply, and select "This folder and sub folders". Then, do what this video does.

 

Car Mod Installation For San Andreas

 

The same method in this video can be used for car mods for Vice City and III too, just make sure the folders have read-only unchecked.

 

This guy also has videos on installing clothing mods, map mods, ect. You should check them out if you really like mods.

 

 

If your game crashes and you've done all of the above, check to make sure you have version one of San Andreas. If you have V. 1.1, or V. 2, you cannot install any mods, for the game checks to make sure the IMG file doesn't get any bigger/smaller. If it does, the game automatically crashes to keep you from using mods. This was done by R* because of the "Hot Coffee" mod, but I really don't want to go into explination about THAT.
