one of the more recent patches (if not the latest actually) effectively ended the era of extracting and modifying the contents of the mpq files and then overriding the originals by placing the new files in the /data/... folder.
editing the look of your character or anything non-ui related has been disallowed for quite some time actually - although there's not much Blizzard could do to determine if you were doing this save for having wow scan the contents of your data folder during run time to determine if any "illegal" *.blp or similar were present.
anyways, to sum up - according to Blizzard it should now be impossible to override the standard .mpq files thus rendering it impossible to edit the player model or add custom skins to items.
