Mission walkthrough

You need three Gauntlets. Lester emails you the locations of three, but any three will do. One is at the top of the multistory parking lot in Pillbox Hill, for Michael. One is behind Vangelico in Rockford Hills, for Trevor. One is outside the Templar Hotel in Mission Row, for Franklin, and that one needs a small repair.

Take each to Los Santos Customs and buy the upgrades listed on screen, then drive it to the lockup and leave it inside. Make sure you have enough money for the mods. There’s no time limit, so you can do these between other things. Each car counts as its own part of this job.

Gold Medal requirements

Get the exact Gauntlet in the email photo. The airport Los Santos Customs is the closest to the drop-off, which helps because any damage on the way to the shop counts. Spend at least $17,000 on each car. The suggested mods cost about $20,000.
