This article is about customizations that can be done on vehicles. For the Customization Garages themselves, see Customization Garages.

Vehicle customization is one of the most commonly used features in Jailbreak. It is both practical and cosmetic, mainly used to add performance or cosmetic upgrades to cars and/or distinguish a player's car from others.

Overview

There are a total of twenty-two vehicle customization options: Texture, Secondary Texture, Body Color, Secondary Body Color, Engine, Glow, Horn, Rim, Rim Color, Drift, Tire Sticker, Tire Style, Suspension Height, Brake, Window Color, Window Tint, Interior Main, Interior Detail, Seat Color, Spoiler, Spoiler Color and Headlight Color.

Vehicles such as the UFO, Helicopter, Black Hawk, Blade, Crew Capsule and Little Bird can only equip textures, body colors, and window colors. The same applies to the Volt, Jet Ski, Jet and Stunt. (with the exception of the window color)

Some vehicles, like the Celestial, Trailblazer, Raptor, JB8, Eclaire, M12 Molten, Celsior, Beignet, Beam Hybrid, Javelin and Tank have access to the Secondary Body Color customization. Within them, only a chosen few have access to the Secondary Texture customization as well.

Land vehicles like the Pickup, Javelin, Shell Mark-5, Desert Crawler, Monster Truck and all bike vehicles, etc. do not have customizable spoilers. They either have no spot for one, or already have a spoiler attached to the vehicle.

Players can customize their vehicles in any Garage from the Rising City Garage, Mountainside Town Garage, Crater City Garage and the Military Base garage. Owners of the Premium Garage gamepass can customize their vehicle anywhere they want. Water vehicles could only be customized by the dock at the Crime Port before its removal.

Vehicle Customization Options

Special

HyperChromes

HyperChromes are special customization colors in Jailbreak. They can only be obtained via the Robbery Bonus Rewards system. ^[1]

Unlike normal customization colors in terms of appearance, HyperChromes are shiny and reflective. They appear in a variety of different colors (Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Yellow, Purple, Pink and Diamond), similar to normal customization color options.

After completing a robbery, players get a roll with a small chance of obtaining a HyperChrome. They start with a Level 1 HyperChrome after their first successful roll, which will level up to a maximum of Level 5 as they receive more HyperChromes.

Like other customization options, HyperChromes can be traded at the Trading Island at any level. ^[2]

HyperShift

The HyperShift is a special customization color in Jailbreak that can only be obtained via owning every Level 5 HyperChrome.^[2]

The HyperShift appears similarly to the HyperChromes; the only difference is that the HyperShift automatically shifts through different colors. Badimo described it as an "animated color".^[2]

The HyperShift is non-tradable.^[2] If players lose any of their Level 5 HyperChromes, they also lose their HyperShift.^[2]

The only way to "trade" the HyperShift is to trade all 8 of the Level 5 HyperChromes.

Others

Notes:

• Red names indicate that the item is no longer purchaseable/redeemable.
• Yellow names indicate that the item will be limited/removed soon.
• Gray names indicate that the item is unobtainable and/or untradable.
• Green names indicate that the item costs Robux.
• Cyan names indicate that the item will be released soon.

Tips

• Players should more or less focus on purchasing performance upgrades first and the appearance later.
  • By doing so, their vehicles will perform better, giving players more experience and confidence in the game. It is recommended to upgrade the suspensions and engines first.
  • On the contrary, textures only change the appearance of the vehicle, while spoilers and tires do not improve much handling and off-roading/grip respectively.

Trivia

HyperChromes & HyperShift

• HyperChromes were single-handedly implemented by CritStyx. ^[3]

Seasonal Customizations

• Previously, some season-exclusive customizations could be purchased despite their assigned seasons as of the Nukes Update. Non-owners must have met the correct level requirements and joined the season that had the textures and rewards in it.
  • Those items were available from the original Season 2 to Season 4.
    • As of the Memes Update, they are now unobtainable and locked from purchase.
• asimo3089 once considered bringing back all of the seasonal customizations.
  • However, with the addition of trading, it is unlikely that this will happen.

Colors

• The "Pastel Brown" color was once named "Pasten Brown".
  • This was a typo and was later fixed in a miscellaneous update.
• The "Darkest Purple" color was once named "Color_DarkestPurple" due to a translation error.
  • This was later fixed in a future update.
• The "Matte" color used to be called "Black", while "Black" used to be called "Blacker".
• When equipping a change of body color to the Stunt or the Jet, it only changes the aileron color.
  • This was changed in the Season 12 Update.
• When equipping "Black" as a headlight or glow color, no light is produced.
• The "Vantablack" colour, as well as all "Radiant" colours prevent the coloured areas from reflecting light, causing any edges to be seamless.
• "Radiant" colours are unique in that they provide a subtle glow around the edges.
  • This however, does not illuminate the surroundings.
• In the August 2020 Update, the glow from the "Radiant Yellow" colour was removed.
  • It was added back in the Season 6 Fall Update.

Textures

• Many non-limited current textures in Jailbreak were added in the Customization Update to replace the removed decals, though some were added in later updates.
• The Money, Field, Ladybug, Peach, ClassicVar3, and the ClassicVar1 textures were retired in the July Update.
  • They are also the first vehicle customizations to be retired.
  • Due to their discontinuity, some of these textures are unable to be equipped on some vehicles, such as how the ClassicVar1 cannot be equipped Power-1.
• The Checker, Snowstorm and Earthquake textures is the only textures that required Robux access to obtain.
• The "Lava" texture was once named "GARAGETEXTURE.LAVA" due to a translation error.
• Many of the original textures used in the game were made in Microsoft Paint.
• The first iteration of the garage didn't have an UI. You had to click squares on the wall.
• Prior to the Nukes Update, the Peach texture was also purchasable via the Starter Pack before the latter's removal.
• For unknown reasons, the Steed show textures upside down.
  • The Stallion used to share this trait before its remodel.
• In the Power Plant Revamp Update, the developers accidentally removed the "None" texture.
  • This was reverted the day after the update.
• A few cars have different "Racer" texture variations, such as the Cybertruck.
• There is a different "Donut" texture on the now-retired SUV.
• Some textures on some vehicles appear as a light gray due to those textures being moderated by Roblox on certain vehicles.
• The "Fire" texture is inverted when placed on the Megalodon.
• The "Berlin Graffiti" texture is the only texture to have different colour schemes on different vehicles.
  • The way this is done is by using different parts of a texture too long to fully fit on most vehicles.
    • As such, the Semi is the vehicle to display the most colours schemes for this texture, due to its length allowing it to use most of the texture.
• Equipping any "Radiant" or the "Vantablack" colour causes any equipped to stop reflecting light, giving a seamless texture.

Removed Decals

• The old decals were removed in the Customization Update as they were not good-looking and had poor quality.
  • However, the Checker and Rainbow decals received an improved look, like the other textures.
    • The Checker texture used to have a flag-like look, while the Rainbow texture was vertical instead of horizontal.
• The Checker texture was later locked from being purchased due to the game, which players were required to join to obtain the texture, being closed by asimo3089, which made this texture unobtainable.
• One of the now-removed decals, named "Woodgrain", was made for a person named WoodReviewer, who was known for making memes and jokes about asimo3089.
• The "Ogre" decal was brought back as the Orgre 2017 texture as the level 8 prize in Season 21.

Rims

• The "Fidget Spinner" rim was the first limited customization reward.
• There are two different "Star" rims.
  • The "Star" rim can be obtained by getting all the required badges in the game.
  • Meanwhile, the "Star Badge" rim could have been obtained by reaching Level 10 on the Police team during the originalSeason 1.
• Some Rims feature special effects.
  • Rims such as the Blue Portal rims or Sparkler rims possess animations.
  • The Storm rims play sound effects to nearby players.

Horns

• The hidden "Injan" horn is exclusive to Injanity, a player who helped with art direction in the early days of Jailbreak.
• Even though it is free, the "Original" horn sound had a limited tag in the Garage.
  • This has been fixed in an update.

License Plates

• Previously, the default license plate of all vehicles would say “ABCDEF".
  • However, it still remains to be the most common default license plate among the vehicles.
  • After the Spoiler/Wings Customization Update, a default license plate would say “BADIMO”.
  • However, after the Garage V1 Update, it was changed back to say “ABCDEF”.
  • If in the license plate option you write nothing. it will automatically be Badimo. Also most vehicles have their own default license plates.
• The license plate of the M12 Molten, "BY: SKYLINE", used to be the longest possible license plate that could be used. It was the longest default license plate and a plate with this many characters cannot be used with a custom plate.
  • The Ray 9's license plate, "BYã ¤TRUMINATOR", now takes the title of being the longest license plate.

• Most of the textures and body colors were made by Maplestick, whose credit was shown in the team selection screen prior to the Nukes Update's UI revamp.
