Custom vehicle license plates were first explored in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, where Love Fist's limousine features LUVFIST plates, the only instance of a custom license number in the game. With the use of more flexible license plate graphics in Grand Theft Auto: 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. The Custom Licence Plates are also appearing in GTA V (as seen in Michael's trailer, red Sentinel XS has got 'KRYST4L' written on it's Licence Plates and in Trevor's trailer artwork, there is a Bodhi which has got 'Betty23' on it).
