Can a car with modified body kit pass the annual inspection?
1 Answers
If the modified body kit has been registered with the vehicle management office, it can pass the annual inspection. If not registered, it cannot pass the inspection. Changes to the vehicle's body color, model, performance, purpose, and structure, as well as replacement of the frame, body, or engine, all require applying for modification registration with the vehicle management office. Body kits are divided into small and large kits, and modifying them is considered an alteration to the car's appearance, thus requiring registration with the vehicle management office. Otherwise, it is easy to be penalized by traffic police or fail the annual inspection. Vehicles with any of the following conditions must undergo the necessary procedures before they can be inspected: discrepancies between the vehicle's condition and the records in the driving license or archives; damaged, incomplete, or illegible license plates or driving licenses, or self-made license plates; vehicles with modifications, model changes, or technical transformations that have not undergone approval and modification procedures; failure to display the unit name and enlarged license plate number as required; failure to install alarms or indicator lights as required; failure to pay road maintenance fees and insurance as required.
