'''Vehicle details''' encompass a range of minor details present on vehicles, which are mostly useless in gameplay but add to variety on vehicles that appear on the street. These include the range of colors, accessories, license plates, and model badges. | '''Vehicle details''' encompass a range of minor details present on vehicles, which are mostly useless in gameplay but add to variety on vehicles that appear on the street.

Vehicles are typically available in a variety of body colors, unless they are hard-coded with a actual texture, as is the case with the [[Sabre Turbo]] and [[Patriot]] in GTA Vice City. For GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, differing colors may be applied on both the body panels and trims (including the bumpers). After GTA III, vehicles may also appear with two tone-body colors, or even three (the [[Camper]] in GTA San Andreas). | Vehicles are typically available in a variety of body colors, unless they are hard-coded with a actual texture, as is the case with the [[Sabre Turbo]] and [[Patriot]] in GTA Vice City.

While the range of colors on most vehicles are limited, third party garage editors can modify the colors of stored vehicles to the player's choosing for games; this may also be applied to gang cars. [[Transfender]], [[Wheel Arch Angels]] and [[Loco Low Co.]] workshops in GTA San Andreas also allow the player to choose a range of custom colors for their vehicle, as well as fully custom paintjobs. | While the range of colors on most vehicles are limited, third party garage editors can modify the colors of stored vehicles to the player's choosing for games; this may also be applied to gang cars.

"Accessories" do not simply refer to vehicle accessories per se, but include different models and livery that illustrate variety between the same model of vehicles that appear on the road. Customized vehicles or gang cars based on existing models are also depicted with additional accessories to distinguish them from their stock counterparts. | "Accessories" do not simply refer to vehicle accessories per se, but include different models and livery that illustrate variety between the same model of vehicles that appear on the road.

GTA 2 first explored such variety by way of its gang cars and different vehicles: Gang cars could be converted into normal variants by utilizing a crane to load a gang car onto a [[Towing|Transporter trailer]]. In addition, certain vehicles are essentially modified versions of another, including the [[Taxi Xpress]] (based on the [[B-Type]]), the [[Special Agent Car]] (based on the [[Eddy]]) and the [[TV Van]] (based on the [[Van]]). | GTA 2 first explored such variety by way of its gang cars and different vehicles: Gang cars could be converted into normal variants by utilizing a crane to load a gang car onto a [[Towing|Transporter trailer]].

GTA III was the first game to feature variety of accessories on the same model of vehicles, randomly assigning a specific "accessories" for a number of them, including industrial box trucks (the [[Mule]] and [[Yankee]]) (company liveries), the [[Patriot]] (truck bed design), the [[Stallion]] (top), the [[Taxi]] (taxi lights) and the [[Coach]] (bus company liveries). Since then, more vehicles provide such variety, expanding to include truck loads, car spoilers, paneling, extended roofs, continental kits, side bags and customized interiors, among others. | GTA III was the first game to feature variety of accessories on the same model of vehicles, randomly assigning a specific "accessories" for a number of them, including industrial box trucks (the [[Mule]] and [[Yankee]]) (company liveries), the [[Patriot]] (truck bed design), the [[Stallion]] (top), the [[Taxi]] (taxi lights), and the [[Coach]] (bus company liveries).

Vehicle registration plates were first introduced in GTA III with improved detailing. Usually seen on road vehicles, license plates were originally represented by only one or two license plate textures. By GTA San Andreas, license plates were far more flexible in displaying a far larger range of different license plates, with each of San Andreas three areas featuring their own type of license plate. | Vehicle registration plates were first introduced in GTA III with improved detailing.

By GTA IV, however, nearly all vehicles featured are designed with at least one badge declaring their name, as well as their [[Vehicle Brands|manufacturer]] and variant. Certain badges, such as those denoting engine types, however, may not reflect the actual engine that the vehicle has. | By GTA IV, however, nearly all vehicles featured are designed with at least one badge declaring their name, as well as their [[Vehicle Brands|manufacturer]] and variant.
