This fuss about VIP jobs, luxury yachts, events, organisations and all the other awesomeness makes me even more excited to get the PS4, if all goes well, in March. So much that I'm already running out of patience. :P

Meanwhile I'm grinding like a madman to have enough $$$ for the cool new stuff as soon as I acquire the PS4.
 
I'm considering buying a lowrider. I have a Ballas' version of the gang Buccaneer, so I might do that since the flame paint job looks awesome. Could anyone tell me how to get the secondary color to match the primary? None of the metallic purple paint options come close. If there isn't a way to get that, I might just go for the Albany Primo and give it the JDM VIP look, just without the tacky camber.

For the Buccaneer, the primary color will change over to the whole car once the lowrider conversion is applied. The secondary color is applied to the trim pieces, as well as the bumpers, so there's really no need to match them.

I made my Buccaneer into a lowrider as soon as I got on PS4. It's a great looking car, and it's pretty quick for a lowrider if it's upgraded. All I have left to do is add hydraulics; the standard upgrade has a default set included, which work okay, so I'm debating whether or not if an upgraded set are worth it.

Watching some videos on the customization, and the options are so expensive. I've got $3.4 million in the bank, but I feel like I should go for the Criminal Mastermind challenge before, since I'm looking to get a yacht as well. I should probably calculate the price for my ideal yacht as well.

I did that early this month. I'm sitting at one million, on the nose, so the Criminal Mastermind is definitely on my to-do list.
 
I've went ahead and registered as a VIP. I anyone wants to do VIP jobs with me just join me. I'm currently the only one in my organization.
 
Is showering the only way to get rid of scars/blood on your character's face? Played a deathmatch a little while ago with @xXKingJoshXx and failed at parachuting. Now their face is scarred. If I join a new session will they completely disappear?

I'm pretty sure if you join a new session any blood goes away
 
I was doing stunt jumps online to unlock the last colors, and I saved the best one for last. Jumping a golf car over the broken bridge at the golf club.

Not one cart spawned. Spent 20 minutes driving various cars to get them to spawn. I even managed to get 5 Sentinels in my garages and sell another.

I ended up doing it with a Ruiner.

Blood goes away whenever you are killed or join a new session. Scars will remain until you use a shower.
 
Two questions about the yacht defense system:

1: If I'm flying any aircraft in passive mode over another player's yacht with the defense system active, will I be shot down?

2: If I'm flying over my yacht in any aircraft with the defense system active, will I be shot down?

1. Sadly, yes.

2. No, your can not be shot down by your own yacht (at least not that I know of)

Thanks. That's a shame with #1. I would expect it to be docile while you're in passive mode, and immediately fire as soon as you exit it.
 
I tried doing VIP jobs today since you guys said that people in the lobby rarely interfere. Well I got the whole lobby chasing after me and my friend. We ended up d dying a lot and losing. Oh well.

Gotta do it in a lobby with like 10 people at the most, and if possible in an invite only session
 
Just remember if you're in a session by yourself you can't do Piracy Prevention, Executive Search, and VIP deathmatch. There may be others you can't do as well.
 
Hostile Takeover, Asset Recovery and Sightseer can be done in a solo session. Asset Recovery is a pain and only pays 8 grand. If you're doing Hostile Takeover, pick Altruist or LSIA. The other 2 are hard.
 
Was surprised I could drive right in.

Haven't found an AmmuNation I can get into with it, yet.

Just now I actually had an entertaining, prosperous and most importantly: dangerous adventure being a solo VIP in rooms of people.

Expect a Best/Worst entry soon enough.
