I'm sure there are some people here that have no idea how to install mods to GTA 4. Now, to prevent further questions, or if we have questions, we can just link people to this without explaining further, making it a much easier life for all of us =D. Lets get right down to it.
STEP 1: Download/Install SparkIV. SparkIV can be found here. (http://gtapolicemods.com/index.php?/files/file/88-tool-sparkiv/) This is what your file should look like after extracting it to wherever you want, I use my desktop.

STEP 2: Run SparkIV (Vista / Windows 7: RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR OR THIS WILL NOT WORK!) This is what your screen should look like:

STEP 3: Click the "Open" Button. I will not be demonstrating how to use the "Browse" Feature as it may be difficult for people to understand. Once you open, go to your GTA IV / GTA EFLC ROOT Directory, and then open the following folder: PC, than Models, than CD Images. it should look something like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\pc\models\cdimages .

STEP 4: Open the "vehicles" file for this tutorial, your screen should look like this.

STEP 5: Click the "Import" button, go to your modification folder, and select "police.wft" and "police.wtd" if that is infact what mod you are installing, the names can change, the process still applies. click open.

STEP 6: Click "Rebuild." Your screen should look like this:

STEP 7: Close SparkIV, load the game, and get in the vehicle you just modded!
I hope this helps, Also, please note that you really need to back up your vehicles.img, and I do not take responsibility for anything you break in your game because of this tutorial. :3
