Can the car's center console be modified?
1 Answers
Modifying the car's center console is legal. The center console refers to the dashboard at the front of the driver's compartment, where the instrument panel, air conditioning and audio controls, storage compartments, airbags, and other devices are installed. Interior modifications are legal. Replacing seat cushions, seat covers, or upgrading the center console screen and navigation system are permitted as long as they fall within reasonable limits and do not affect the vehicle's structural integrity. Here are the relevant regulations for car modifications: Modifications to body color (including interior), engine, fuel type, and chassis number are allowed. However, changes to the body, chassis, or engine are only permitted if the original parts are damaged beyond repair or have quality issues. When applying for modifications, proof from a repair shop and documentation of the origin of the replacement parts (engine, body, or chassis) must be provided. Replacing the front bumper is allowed after approval, but modifications that enhance off-road performance, such as raising the chassis, are prohibited. If illegal modifications are discovered during the annual inspection, the vehicle must be restored to its original condition. Widening tires or modifying the intake and exhaust systems are not permitted. According to the Ministry of Public Security's "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," altering tire specifications, intake systems, or exhaust systems is not an approved modification. When modifying your vehicle, choose a reputable modification shop. Always use high-quality, certified parts to avoid issues such as unpleasant odors, poor fit leading to abnormal noises, premature wear, or compromised driving quality.
