The app allows you to not only customize
your rides in Grand Theft Auto 5, but also look after Franklin's dog
Chop - with in-game bonuses for doing a good job.
Here's everything you need to know about getting the most out of the app.
iFruit - Getting Started
First of all, you'll need to either create an account for Rockstar
Social Club, or log-in to the one you already have. If you've not
created a Social Club log-in before, you'll then be asked to associate
your PSN or Xbox Live account with your new Social Club account.
LS Customs Guide
Los Santos Customs allows you to customize vehicles on your iPhone or
iPad, then use those customized vehicles within GTA 5 on your Xbox 360
or PlayStation 3. Pretty cool, eh?
From the Garage section of the interface, you can select the car that
you wish to work on. We'll select Franklin from here, then go to the
Customize section and start tweaking his ride. Here are the individual
areas you can play with:
Respray:
From here, you can choose the primary and secondary colors for your
car, change the tinting on the windows, and even the color of your tire
smoke.
Engine:
Select a more powerful engine for your vehicle here. Note that
certain items only unlock after you've made progress in the console
version of GTA 5, and the upgrades get more and more expensive as you
work your way through them.
Brakes:
Choose between standard or street brakes from this section. This option affects the weight and handling of your chosen vehicle.
Wheels / Horn / Lights / Tires:
These options only change the cosmetic appearance of your vehicle. They do not affect the handling of the vehicle in any way.
Turbo:
Switch up your turbo options and get an extra burst of speed around Los Santos.
Armor:
Improves your abilities to take knocks and prangs around town. Better upgrades cost more money.
Suspension:
Upgrading your vehicle's suspension significantly improves the handling of your chosen vehicle.
Exhaust:
Speed and weight are both affected by the type of exhaust you fit to your vehicle.

Chop the Dog is a virtual pet in iFruit. How you treat Chop in this
mobile game affects how he behaves in Grand Theft Auto 5. Here's
everything you need to know about looking after your new best friend:

fed.
How do I clean up after Chop in Grand Theft Auto 5?
When Chop makes a mess, you'll be given a glove symbol and, well,
you'll need to use it to clear up after him. Hey, nobody said owning a
dog was easy! Simply pinch the mess with two fingers and drop it in the
trash can.
