I've just got RDE working again and i'm now wanting to replace some of the cars that it came with. the lspd staniers and other cars i wish to replace with argent variants. i can't find police, police2 and police3 in the RDE's vehicles.meta. when i did my best to replace the car by renaming the car in the dlcpack to police.yft and deleting police.yft in RDE the rde car will show up all glitched out and the new car only shows up in the distance. other tutorials are very unhelpful and there really is no tutorial on this anyway. can someone walk me through the process? 

Vanilla vehicles read from the vehicles.meta file in update.rpf, so you need to replace the entry there (carvariations can be done in any DLC carvariations.meta file, however). Make sure to delete all model and texture files before installing new ones, as well.

delete all in RDE before you replace? 

To be safe, remove all old files before replacing.
