Does adding a spoiler to a sedan require registration?
1 Answers
Registration is required. Installing a spoiler on a car is considered an alteration to the vehicle's appearance, and the owner must register the modification with the vehicle management office in advance. If a spoiler is installed without registration, the traffic management department will detain the vehicle, confiscate the illegal modification, order restoration to the original condition, and impose a fine according to the law. Here is relevant information: 1. After the modification is completed, the vehicle license must be re-photographed and replaced to ensure that the photo on the license matches the modified vehicle, so that the car can pass annual inspections and routine safety checks. The requirement for adding a spoiler is that it should not exceed the overall dimensions of the vehicle after installation. 2. The main function of a car spoiler is to provide sufficient downforce, reducing lift at the rear of the vehicle, ensuring the car remains firmly on the road and maintains stability during driving. 3. If a vehicle owner wishes to change the body color, replace the engine, or alter the body or frame, they are no longer required to apply to the vehicle management office in advance. They can first make the changes (such as altering the vehicle color, adding body kits, or replacing the engine) and then apply for modification registration at the vehicle management office within 10 days.
