First You Have To Die 
Lol Not I'm O So Silly 
This tutorial explains how to install skins, not just explaining which folder it goes to.
For Weapon Skins
I am going to show you how to install the Gangsta Glock which can be found here
1. First off download the skin
2. Notice the file has a ".rar" extension. Winzip does not support rar files. You must download WinRAR in order to access rar files which can be obtained here.
3. Once WinRAR is installed, open up the file.
4. Now you will see something like Screenshot A
5. Now let's review the folders.
1. materials: this contains the textures for the weapon. Without it, you will have a pink and black looking gun.
* models: skins for models
* weapons: skins for weapons
* v_models: skins for weapons in first person view
* w_models: (this may not appear all the time) Skins for the weapons in world view
2. models: this contains the model for a weapon. Without it, your skin would not work.
* weapons: folder that contains models for weapons
3. scripts: this tells where the sound of each event (reload, draw) goes.
* game_sounds_manifest.txt: Do not overwrite this if you install another skin that has this file in it.
* weapons: sound scripts for weapons
4. sounds: this contains the sounds for the weapon
* weapons: sounds for weapons
* [weapon name]: sounds for this particular weapon
NOTE: It is normal for some folders to not appear in other skins
that you download. (E.g. when you open up a different skin you see only materials and models)
6. Go to Start>Run
7. Enter C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\ and click OK.
The folder above may be different for you.
8. Select the folder with your email/username
9. Select the counter-strike source folder
10. Select the cstrike folder
11. Now go back to WinRAR
12. Select all of the folders
13. Now drag and drop the folders into the cstrike folder (make sure the pointer is on the white part of the cstrike window when you release the mouse and you select yes to all)
14. Now your skin is installed! Go play counter-strike source and enjoy!
For Player Skins
1. Download a T/CT skin
2. Open with WinRAR
3. You should see some vtf files
4. Go to C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\Counter-Strike Source \cstrike\materials\models\player
The folder above may be different for you.
5. Create a folder called t_phoenix and another called ct_urban
6. If the files in the rar file start with ct_urban, drag and drop all the files into the folder "ct_urban". If the files start with t_phoenix, drag and drop all the files into the folder t_phoenix.
Scopes
1. If you end up with a scope_lens.vtf when you download a scope, extract it to "...\counter-strike source\cstrike\materials\overlays\"
2. If you just have a materials folder, drag and drop the materials folder onto the background of the cstrike folder. (...\counter-strike source\cstrike\)
