As the topic title says, is anyone working on CHP units current gen with Slicktop and Whelen editions? Those would be awesome, I see one out now that's a Whelen but the lights are incorrect in certain spots. 

The Slicktop version may work out great in dealing with the 20 light limit in V.

No way in saying, but I'm sure someone will do one eventually.

The problem is that everyone who wants these cars can't get them because the authors of the parts that they want to use won't allow the conversions.

I don't understand why, since we all enjoy the hobby and all it will do is further grow and expand it. never understood why authors do that, what do they gain from it?

There are no honor among thieves.

Are you calling them thieves? I wasn't saying to steal their work, I was just wondering their thought process as why to flaunt something then refuse to let the community enjoy it. 

no they are just little kids who don't have anything going on with there life so they withhold these models..like that's going to make a difference other then piss people off but if they are going to act like that then I will buy these models, have them converted and give them to people who are willing to make and publicly release some LA cars chrg, cvpi, fpi sedan and caprice so well see if any of them grow any balls in the coming weeks

Some people are either too self-absorbed, concerned about crediting issues, or just do it because everyone else does. The way I see it, what's going to happen is someone is going to see a car mod, *saying the mod is unlocked* and think, "Oh, that's a nice light bar, i'd like to use it." What is supposed to be expected of the person is for them to give credit to the original person who created the light bar. Thing is, people get worried about people thinking that everyone is out there to rip and steal their modifications and taunt them around calling it their own. Which isn't entirely false, but It's not like everyone is going to do it. Maybe the one odd person. Some people however, may just have too much pride saying, "I made this mod! It's MINE! Look at my mod! It is great!" Usually posting pictures showcasing the mod in the image gallery and never actually releasing it, just showing it off saying, "LOOK WHAT I'VE DONE!" I do understand why some people would think of to be safe from dealing with the one or two people who mis-credit either on accident or on purpose, but in the long run, it's really not doing anything. Locking a car mod doesn't have much significance and can be broken. The way I see it, there is no stopping someone if they really want to have it, so why fight against it? Some people may see, I've spend days, weeks, months, perfecting this car mod I converted myself. I can see why someone would want it to be "safe", but again, there's no stopping it if it happens. I don't see what the big deal is if someone decides to steal something and call it their own. You were forever the one to create it and upload yourself. What's the difference if someone else uploads the same thing and credits themselves for it? What's to lose? Pride? It's not like one stolen car mod will bring everything crashing down around you. So what, if it's a deal, you can speak to a staff member about having it removed. Honestly, I thought it was pointless trying to stop people. It's just a headache for me to go through dealing with it. The way I see it is, "So what if someone uses my parts or car, it's not like it's my own car registered in my name in my address." I just decided I didn't care enough about it as it being quite pointless. If you can't stop a problem by having things the way you want it yourself, why not try another way and have it free for everyone else to enjoy and use themselves? I know that's a lot more fun than having to follow what that person wants to make.

Sorry for the wall of text. I just wanted to prove a point as clearly as I could.
