How to unlock the Los Santos Customs achievement in Grand Theft Auto V - Definitive Guide
There are a few ways you can do this:
- Once you get about 25k on any character you can find, steal and fully modify a cheap car such as Weemy Issi Compact (Mini Cooper) or Motorcycle (Western Daemon)
- You can wait until you unlock Trevor as a playable character and with his extra cash (roughly 100k) you can fully modify pretty much any vehicle
- You can wait until a point in the story where Michael's car is modified for you slightly and then adding the mods that were missed should pop the achievement for you
- You can wait and but the Los Santos Customs garage with Franklin, once he has enough money, then all mods will be free at that location
- You could go to GTA online and modify a vehicle there, money is much easier to come by online now-a-days, and you will also get a platinum award for doing this
Below is the checklist of things you would need to get, some vehicles don't have all of these but you just need to buy all you can for the particular vehicle you are in, and you only need to purchase the lowest level of the modification:
Armour
Breaks
Bumpers
Engine
Exhaust
Hood
Horn
Lights
Plate
Respray Primary
Spoiler
Suspension
Transmission
Turbo
Wheels
Wheel Colour
Wheel Accessories: Custom, Bulletproof tires and Smoke colour
If you have bought the "Los Santos Customs" property with Franklin for $349,000 then all mods and upgrades are free, however, this total is substantially more than the maximum you should have to pay so we have decided to list the absolute cheapest way to earn this trophy (assuming you have not bought the property). Also bear in mind that you can save your game before buying the car and upgrades, then simply reload after the trophy has popped to avoid any monetary loss.
There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding using the three main characters' default cars. Some people have said that they got this trophy by modding them but many more have said that this never worked, therefore we have chosen to list a different car that is guaranteed to unlock this trophy.
To begin press to bring up your mobile phone, select "Internet" => "Travel & Transport" => "Southern San Andreas Super Autos" and buy the Weeny Issi (any colour will do) for $18,000 and retrieve it from your garage. This is also the same car that Michael's daughter Tracey drives, so you can get one for free from the driveway at his house in Vinewood as it spawns fairly frequently.
Now enter any "Los Santos Customs" shop and buy the following upgrades:
1. Armor -- Armor Upgrade 20%
2. Brakes -- Street Brakes
3. Brakes -- Sport Brakes
4. Bumpers -- Custom Front Splitter
5. Bumpers -- Custom Rear Bumper
6. Engine -- EMS Upgrade, Level 1
7. Exhaust -- Dual Exit Exhaust
8. Hood -- Vented Hood
9. Horn -- Truck Horn
10. Lights -- Xenon Lights
11. Plate -- Blue on White 2
12. Respray -- Primary Color -- Chrome
13. Repsray -- Secondary Color -- Chrome
14. Skirts -- Custom Skirts
15. Suspension -- Lowered Suspension
16. Transmission -- Street Transmission
17. Turbo -- Turbo Tuning
18. Wheels -- Wheel Type -- SUV -- Benefactor
19. Wheels -- Wheel Color -- Black
20. Wheels -- Wheel Accessories -- Custom Tires
21. Wheels -- Wheel Accessories -- Bulletproof Tires
22. Wheels -- Wheel Accessories -- Black Tire Smoke
23. Windows -- Light Smoke
Once you have bought all of the above, leave the shop to unlock the trophy. You must leave the shop otherwise the trophy won't unlock. Please see the video below for a video walkthrough of this trophy:
[AUTOPOP] If you import an existing character from PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 with which you've already attained this trophy, complete an activity such as a race and you'll unlock the trophy.
After the story mission, "Father/Son," you can begin customizing your vehicles at the Los Santos Customs shops. These shops will be marked as a spray paint can icon on your world map. Since each car varies from available mods and price tags, there is no set vehicle to use for this achievement. Just make sure you purchase one of every upgrade from each section in the customize menu when inside the shop. Depending on your vehicle and which mods suit your taste, you will need to save upwards to at least $40,000 to fully modify your vehicle.
Take note that the achievement only unlocks once you exit Los Santos Customs. Additionally, many people are overlooking the fact that you need to buy one of each Wheel Accessory: Custom Tires, Bulletproof Tires & Smoke Tires; as well as the Chrome finish in addition to any other regular respray (Classic, Matte, Metallic).
