Is there a way to change armor into clothing?

I found this good light armor mod, but I think I'd rather have it as clothing. Is there a way to change it to be clothing?

If you only want the clothing for yourself, it's pretty simple:
-Fire up the CS, and load Oblivion.esm and load the .esp of the light armour mod as the active file.
-Go to the clothing tab of the items list, right click and select new. Fill out the form as desired and then find where it says "Biped Model". Click the "Add NIF File" button underneath (Do this for Male and/or Female) and navigate to wherever you placed the meshed which came with the mod.
-Select the appropriate NIF file (Make sure you get the correct one for your gender if there are several)
-Do the same for "World Model" and "Icon Image" if these were included.
-Make sure to attach any scripts to the item that were attached to the armour.
-FInally, place this newly created item somewhere where you can collect it in game (This creates a NEW item, with the armour mesh as clothing. It does NOT replace the old armour.)

If you don't know which scripts, NIFs or Icons to use, you can double click the original armour and check which to use there.
Good Luck.
