100% Gold Requirements for Gauntlet
Mapped	Deliver the Gauntlet pictured in the email
Not A Scratch	Deliver a Gauntlet with no damage
Pimped Out	Spend $17,000 modifying the Gauntlet

MISSION NOTE: CAR DAMAGE

The gauntlet car must NOT take any kind of damage before going to LS Customs AND after. Drive it carefully!

There are THREE locations to find parked Bravado cars. Lester sends an email with the location and the photo of where it can be found. Fortunately, jacking the cars won't incur any Police attention so just grab the car and drive away.

GAUNTLET LOCATION: PILLBOX HILL  

The first car is found in a parking garage in Pillbox Hill. The gauntlet is on the roof of the parking structure so drive up there and take the car to LS Customs.  Gauntlet 1

GAUNTLET LOCATION: ROCKFORD HILLS 

The second is found in Rockford Hills. This is the same place where the Jewelry Heist took place. The car is parked on the street so get in and take it over to LS Customs. Gauntlet 2

GAUNTLET LOCATION: MISSION ROW 

The third is located in Mission Row. Gauntlet 3

Medal-gtav.png GOLD MEDAL REQUIREMENTS: "PIMPED OUT"

For the "Pimped Out" requirement, simply buy the Heist Package PLUS all the extras that come along with the car.

The Gold requirements apply for all three cars, so simply find the vehicle, drive it to Los Santos customs unharmed, modify it, and then drive it to the hideout (unharmed as well). Mission Complete!
