3ds max: looking for help on alpha chanels

[Organic Zero]

Hi, I have a trouble here that is nearly making me suicide. I'm rendering a friends car that he made for gta, i've got everything done on it, except the grills on the car vents. The problem is that they are texturized, they are tga files with alpha chanels, that make some areas of they invisible, only letting the wire be visible. The problem is that i can't do this same effect on the 3ds max, no mather what i try :x So please, is there anyone that can help me here?

save alpha channel into greyscale bitmap and use that in opacity map slot.
