Customize Your Car, Take A Picture And Upload It To Social Club In Grand Theft Auto V

Pay and Spray out the door, customization handled by LS Customs.

Speaking to GameInformer, GTA V producer and lead mission designer Imran Sarwar revealed that GTA V’s cars and other vehicle customization will be handled at a new automotive outfit dubbed LS Customs.

Sarwar also explained some social media aspects of the game, making clear that Rockstar has just about every aspect of the game covered.

Said Sarwar:

Pay & Spray isn’t in this game – it’s been replaced by LS Customs. These are located throughout the world and they’re a one-stop shop for any car customisation. You will be able to take in your car or bike, speak to the mechanic, and customise them.

Rather than it simply being an additional option for players to experiment with, we wanted to expand it and integrate it more deeply into the game so that it would seamlessly slot in with everything else that the player can do in the world. Some missions ask you to customise vehicles in certain ways, and we have taken vehicle customisation in general a lot further than we did in San Andreas.

In addition to the many cosmetic customisation alterations such as body kits, paint jobs/finishes, wheels, exhaust tips, window tints, tire smoke colour, bull-bars, extra lights, and lots of other extra accessories, we have modifications that will affect gameplay and vehicle performance. Some of the modifications that affect gameplay include brakes, engine tuning, suspension, horns, bulletproof tires, panel armour, and of course, a general repair!

There are more than 1,000 modifications in total. And when you’re done customising your car, you can take a picture of it using the in-game cell phone and upload them to the Social Club.

GTA V’s out on September 17th on PS3 and Xbox 360. Check out the first gameplay trailer below.
