Mind explaining how you have done this? I am sure there are others as well as myself interested.
One question tho, why is it that only your character is the high-elf female luclin model, when there are other high-elf females in the picture?

The injector works by isolating specific models and textures in a given rendered frame and then replacing ONLY those models and textures that I choose to inject. Hence I could change all of the models, some of the models, or none of the models. In this case, I have only bothered to dig out the model and texture set for my own toon.
The way it works is basically like this: the game renders a particular frame and then sends it to the video card. The "conduit" between the two is DirectX. The injector intercepts the frame after it has been handed to DirectX by the game engine. It then looks for the CRC values of all of the models and textures in that particular frame. Each model being rendered has its own unique ID. After I identify which values belong to my specific character, the injector is then set up (using an XML file) to always replace that particular model and texture set in each successive frame that is sent to the video card. The result: my character has a Luclin model, but nobody else's does. And since all of this takes place after the actual game engine has done its thing, it has absolutely no effect whatsoever upon anyone else in the game. It is entirely restricted to my own screen.
If I wanted to replace ALL of the characters on the screen, then it's a bit more work to set it up... but very do-able. It's just a lot of extra hassle that I don't feel like bothering with. Also, the nature of the injector is such that it needs to be set up anew each time the game is loaded. Most people would probably get confused by its operation, so for now it is just my own little personal toy.
Me and some fellow modders first got into this method back when we were trying to create a fully-nude mod for Age Of Conan... but that's another whole can of worms.
Anyway, the admin has made it clear that this topic is not going to be resolved in our favor. So I'm gonna bow out now... and wish everyone happy hunting.
