MADE BY GTAGAME - DeffiBoy/GTAGAMECounterShot @ GTAInside!
I haven't created this model, credits go to the original maker!

Ok, here's how we're going to do it:
First of all, you need a custom 3D model for GTA IV. Those files have .wft and .wdr extension. Download the one from the Buffalo here:
http://files.gtainside.com/downloads/ftpe/1246596604_Buffalo%20Caprio.rar
Extract the .rar archive to get a file called banshee.wft and banshee.wdr.

Note that this does not change the normal FIB Buffalo into a cabrio version, it changes the Banshee into the Cabrio FIB. If you want to keep the banshee and just have the normal FIB changed into cabrio version, rename the Banshee.wdr and Banshee.wft into FBI.wdr and FBI.wft, and import them like that.

Now, you need to download SparkIV, a tool to put the custom model in the game. Download the latest version here:
http://gzwn.net/Documents/SparkIV%200.6.2.2.rar
Once again, extract the .rar archive, go to the map called 'SparkIV' and execute SparkIV.exe.
Now, click 'open' and go to the following directory:
C:\\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\pc\models\cdimages\vehicles.img.
open vehicles.img and you'll see all the cars' .wdr and .wft files. Here's where we're going to put our custom .wft file.

First you might want to backup the original model. Search for banshee.wft and banshee.wdr in the list, and click 'export'. Save somewhere else and call it 'bansheeoriginal' or something like that. Then click 'import' and browse to the custom model we downloaded before, and click to import it. (Watch out that you don't mistake here: choose the downloaded banshee.wft and not the backup version).

Once done, click 'rebuild' and 'save' in that order, and that's about it! When you launch your game and find a Banshee, you'll see that it's a Cabrio Buffalo!

At the moment we only got this kind of 3D model, but I'm pretty sure that in a month or so, we'll have models such as Ferrari and stuff. Patience.

    Its a cool video, but that poor headlight ruined it

  • sorry, didnt read the description first

  • Lol, np. But you can make it so that the officers will arive in the car, by renaming the banshee to FBI. :)

  • whats up with the light?

  • I like the Buffalo in tbogt more

  • WTF is up with the left front light?

  • my won't work

  • its an american car, so it would be called convertible, not cabrio, thats european

  • Why would your windows be up? You have a convertible, its not like you can put the top on so there is no need for windows on the model.

  • This mod gave me the perfect idea and now im working on a two door version of the buffalo cabrio. If you want too see, the beta version is on my backround image
