The colors may also be changed. Six unlockable vehicles: The Security (Police, H3 SUV), Custom Racing (racing livery, H3T), Fire Truck (Firefighting, H1), Snow Patrol (A snow themed Police, H2 SUT), Bling (Golden, spinners, etc, H2 SUV), and the Patriot (Eagle and Flag-themed, H1) are non-customizable.
