In China, most itasha cars are considered illegal modifications. Current regulations strictly stipulate that the graphics should not exceed 30% of the vehicle's total area, and no more than three colors should be used. Here's some information about itasha cars: 1. Definition: Itasha is a Japanese cultural phenomenon where car owners decorate their vehicles with paintings or decals of their favorite anime characters or anime company logos as a form of automotive decoration. This trend was gradually introduced into China's automotive market and has become part of daily life. 2. Registration with the DMV is required: In China, this type of decoration is classified as a vehicle body modification. After completing the modification, it must be reported to the DMV for registration; otherwise, it will be considered an illegal modification. Driving a car with illegal modifications may result in being stopped by traffic police, and the vehicle will not pass the annual inspection without undergoing corrective measures.
