Custom Vehicle License Plates

Revision as of 14:29, 18 November 2012 by Karzi556 (talk | contribs)

Custom vehicle license plates were first explored in GTA Vice City, where the Love Fist's limousine features LUVFIST plates and the Banshee LEONY, the only instances of a custom license number in the game. With the use of more flexible license plate graphics in GTA San Andreas, more vehicles would appear with customized license numbers. However, the custom license plates cannot be saved in garages; once a car is saved in a garage, its plate will become random.
