Can I Pass the Annual Inspection After Changing the Color of the Grille?

[DiJoanna]

Changing the color of the grille is a very common modification. As long as it is registered with the vehicle management office, it can pass the annual inspection. When modifying the grille, it is important to note that after installing the new grille, the original length and width of the vehicle must not be altered. Annual inspection content: Check whether the engine, chassis, body, and their attachments are clean, intact, and functional, whether the paint is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether the main assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records. Check whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control performance, lighting, exhaust, and other safety features comply with the "Technical Conditions for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles." Check whether the vehicle has been modified, remodeled, or altered, whether the driving license, license plate, and vehicle registration records match the actual condition of the vehicle, whether there have been any changes, and whether the approval, modification, or alteration procedures have been completed. Check whether the printed license plates, driving license, and enlarged license plate numbers on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or illegible, and whether they need to be replaced. Whether the name of the unit or the street/township where the vehicle is located and the number of passengers in the cab are sprayed in Chinese characters on both sides of the door as required. Whether the rear door of a truck (including the rear door of a trailer) is sprayed with the license plate number enlarged 2-3 times as required, and whether the words "Private" are sprayed on both sides of the vehicle or door for individual or joint ownership vehicles. The characters must be clear, and no unit codes or other patterns should be sprayed (special cases require approval from the DMV).
