-'''TransFender''' is an automobile customization shop in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]. The player may customize only certain types of civilian vehicles in these locations, with tuners being customizable only at [[Wheel Arch Angels]] garage in [[San Fierro]] and lowriders being only customizable at the [[Loco Low Co.]] in [[Los Santos]]. TransFender will customize any other type of vehicle with the exception of [[:Category:Industrial Vehicles|industrial vehicles]] and [[:Category:Law Enforcement Vehicles|law enforcement vehicles]]. There are 3 locations throughout [[State of San Andreas|San Andreas]], with one in each major city. The name is a play on the word ''transgender'', as further evidenced by the slogan "body swap shop" (a transgendered person might be seen as "swapping" his or her body for that of another gender, hence the moniker).

 ==Modifications==
-===Color===
+The range of modifications available for vehicles at TransFender depend on the vehicle's model.
+Basic options, including body colors, nitrous boasts, wheels, car stereos and hydraulics, are available for all vehicles. However, other groups of parts are exclusive to a certain classes of vehicles, such as the "Lights" option that add fog lights, which is exclusive to off-road vehicles such as the [[Bobcat]] and [[Landstalker]]. "Body kit" parts that enhance a vehicle's speedy appearance, including hood scoops, hood vents, roof scoops, spoilers and side skirts, are usually reserved for cars (both two doors or four doors), although these too is unavailable for a handful of cars. Even so, the number of parts available for each option are usually limited to a select few, depending on the vehicle model. The "Exhaust" option is available for most road vehicles, but unavailable for the same vehicles deprived of the aforementioned body kit parts. For a more detailed range of parts for each vehicle, see the vehicles' respectable pages.

+* Changing color actually works the same as a [[Pay 'N' Spray]] visit (repair car and remove [[Wanted Level]])
+* At the [[Las Venturas]] TransFender, all modifications except Color cost 20% more than at other TransFenders in San Andreas.
+* There is a bug with the TransFender in Las Venturas. Driving a [[Moonbeam]] into the TransFender will allow you to modify the vehicle as normal, but once you exit the TransFender modification screen and attempt to leave, the vehicle will spawn on top of the garage but underneath the actual roof, making it impossible to drive the vehicle out and also trapping the player inside the TransFender. The only way to escape is for the player to kill themselves by damaging the Moonbeam enough to blow it up and kill the player, or re-loading the game's save file, or the game itself. Bug is not present in PC version.
