« on: October 30, 2005, 03:16:00 PM »

only a quick question

Whether you use the texture tool or tile using the decals approach, ultimately a 'car skin' gets saved on the HDD in your Forza profile.  This 'car skin' is a single flat image, and it is this image that is sent to the other players when you race on XBL.  So, yes, they will see your skinned car.
