In this video, I show how to convert any modified car to it's traffic default. After I convert Vacca, EP Blazer and Trevor's Bodhi to traffic defaults, I reload the save and show they changed.

This needs PATCHING and UNPATCHING! There is NO WAY to do this for 1.00 OR for patched version ALONE!

You need to patch the game to latest version, then modify the vehicle you want to become traffic default either pure gold or brushed gold (metals class) in LS Customs. Then save your game and unpatch it. After loading that save in 1.00 version, all cars you modified will be traffic defaults since pure gold and brushed gold colors do not exist in 1.00.

You can simply get special colors which normally cannot spawn on rare vehicles like Cognoscenti, Vacca, but also Buffalo S, Bodhi and many more when doing this. Just keep reloading the save for various traffic defaults.

You can also convert EP vehicles with special colors so they become different EP vehicles for 1.00.

Fun fact, Trevor's Bodhi is always metallic garnet red in the game, however with this conversion, it can become Bodhi's actual traffic default - worn red, which was for some reason actually cut from the game. Same thing applies to Buffalo S which can be metallic champagne or worn taxi yellow.

It's should NOT be taken too seriously since MY GUIDE is version based. I wouldn't normally include cross-patch conversions as they possess potential danger to existing special vehicles. However, this is basically the only such in GTA V so I thought it would be fun to show. It is rare though and can be done anytime.
