RainFX is coming, it's a must have and what about making the old car mods work in the wet

Edit 9-Apr-2021: a PDF with the instructions.

It's not a huge task and if you have a lot of nice cars that don't have working wipers I may provide here a beginner-friendly tutorial for Blender editing. So if more than 2 people say that they want to learn how to get from this

to this

write a reply in this thread and I will follow.

Cheers!

The image for the mirrors don't matter if you make the material all reflective and ksAmbient is "0". Kunos advised modders to use only png and dds for textures so .jpg is not the best option. If you look into your game's folder "..\sdk\dev\car_pipeline_2.0rev\Common Texture\" there's a "Mirror.DDS" that you can use.
Making the mirror material reflective is not a substitute for proper editing of "mirrors.ini" in car's data. For example

[MIRROR_0]
NAME=MirrorL

[MIRROR_1]
NAME=MirrorC

[MIRROR_2]
NAME=MirrorR

is the correct order and syntax for enabling the left, center and right mirrors. In your case for the car paste the specific names from the model. If you have "Real Mirrors" enabled in CSP options there is additional code for the config that allows for adjusting the angle of each mirror

[REAL_MIRROR_0]
ROTATION=0.05, 0.02
[REAL_MIRROR_1]
ROTATION=-0.01, -0.03
[REAL_MIRROR_2]
ROTATION=-0.01, 0.01

In that code the order is the same as in "mirrors.ini" from car's data. You can see the results of each edit from the car's seat as soon as you save the ext_config file.

Thank you so much! I will give it a try (Real Mirror)
I use mirror.dds, but since racedepartment not allowed us to attach dds file, I just screenshot and show it to you. Thanks for your advice. this helped me so much, and made modding become more interesting since there is much I need to learn.
