Time Stamps:

00:00 - Beginning "Mountain Cloud Boys" and going through the Mission like normal until one final enemy is left alive
02:10 - Parking a Mission Important Vehicle on top of the final enemy and then driving to Transfender leaving Woozie behind
02:55 - Entering the Transfender and opening up the Color Palette and when I can take control of CJ, I press the Exit Vehicle Button still maintaining the Mod Menu
03:15 - Keeping Woozie alive and running on foot back to Doherty to fetch a Vehicle (in this case, an NRG-500) from the Garage I want to convert into EC/EC2/EM (Exclusive Color, Exclusive Secondary Color, and Exclusive Modification)
06:00 - Changing the Primary (EC) and Secondary Color (EC2) of the NRG-500 as well as giving it some possible Modifications (EM) and then exiting the Mod Garage with the EC/EC2/EM NRG-500
06:30 - Passing the Mission by driving Woozie home
08:30 - Showing off the EC/EC2/EM NRG-500

This Method will work EXACTLY as shown on PS2, Xbox, PC, and Mobile since all of these Platforms/Versions allow the Method shown in the Video. It's unknown if this works on the Definitive Edition or not.

You CAN fail this Mission while converting a Vehicle into EC/EC2/EM in case you want to repeat it for other Vehicles. Just allow Woozie to die at any stage of the process after gaining the Mod Menu. In fact, this tends to happen in most cases, anyways. Keeping Woozie alive isn't easy and it's completely luck based when he doesn't die!

You can convert UP TO FOUR total Vehicles into EC/EC2/EM that are inside the SAME Garage. I only shown one in this Video, but I will show more in a later Video and explain how it's done.

Obviously, you want to convert some kind of Vehicle that normally wouldn't be able to enter the Mod Garage to maximize the value of your converted Vehicle. For instance, the NRG-500 I chose to convert in the Video can't enter any Mod Garage under normal circumstances. Neither can other certain Vehicles, as well as Vans/Trucks or Planes/Helicopters, etc. If you'd be converting let's say a Washington, it's not going to be special other than the possible SECONDARY Color you put on it because a Washington can enter a Mod Garage normally and change the PRIMARY Color at any given time, as well as give it many possible kinds of Modifications. So, none of those would be special. Only the possible SECONDARY Color since it's the only thing you couldn't change under normal circumstances on said Washington!

ANY Vehicle that CJ can sit inside and drive/fly can be converted into EC/EC2/EM. However, not ALL Vehicles will show a Primary and/or Secondary Color change due to these kind of Vehicles having only one VISIBLE Color Area or a Livery, instead. An example would be the HPV1000 which has a Livery. You can change Color 1 and 2, but it'll visually look the same as it did before, despite now being EC/EC2. Note that NOT ALL MODS WILL WORK! Some of them will crash the game, depending on which Vehicle you're trying to modify and with which modification. In the Video, I only install Tires onto the NRG-500 because other modifications would crash the game!

Note that the FINAL Vehicle you convert into EC/EC2/EM will be the one you will be taking out of the Mod Garage at the end. So if you were to convert a Maverick, this would be in the Mod Garage at the end. You obviously can't just fly it out in most cases, so you'll need to push it out, obviously. When using a Bike, like shown in the Video, it appears on TOP of the Transfender Garage for whatever unknown reason. Just know that I succeed and keep it in the Video, but sometimes after falling through Blue Hell and respawning back on land, your Bike will be GONE and you'd have to do this all over again!

Any time you do an EC/EC2/EM Conversion, it's recorded in the Stats by the Vehicle Modification Budget Stat found in the Pause Menu, so keep that in mind! The more EC/EC2/EM Conversions you do, the higher all of these Stats will be!

There's really no point in using this EC/EC2/EM Conversion. I show it because I am obviously making a full and complete Guide, but ones found much later on in the game will be easier, quicker, and better to use in the end.

Fun Fact - There's an INFERIOR EM Sentinel featured in this Mission. If you want to see how to obtain it, check this Video out - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUrJDj_HkLc
