Just finished it up today, still unsure at this point if the animations are okay but the model and textures are working okay at this point. I've only touched up the textures to the model, the model itself has been left untouched (for the most part) and I attempted to allow for color changing however even after setting up an alpha channel it's still applying the color to the entire body and interior. If I figure out what's going on I can easily fix it and allow for greater customization.
Overall file size increased by about only 4 MB and the vehicle is now composed of eleven 1024x1024 textures, this includes the 6 different skins. I've also copied a similar style used on the TDM BMW by using $detail to brighten up the dashboard, it worked pretty well. One issue I had was with the bumpmaps that I was going to use. They were causing the interior to reflect light too much and overall were not adding much to the vehicle. I was planning on using heightmaps only to learn that Gmod now no longer supports them natively.

New Exteriors - Doubled texture size and recreated the body paint, also fixed weird bumpmap.

^Texture for the top of the dashboard
I've sent everything off to Soul so we'll find out soon if everything works okay.
