Does Applying Black Badges to Chevrolet Count as Modification?
1 Answers
Applying black badges to a Chevrolet does not count as modification. A modified vehicle passing the annual inspection proves that the vehicle complies with relevant laws and regulations and is allowed to be driven on the road. The following modifications cannot pass vehicle inspection: Color Modification: There are three colors reserved for special-purpose vehicles and cannot be used. Red is designated for firefighting, yellow for engineering rescue, and white with blue bottom for national administrative law enforcement. Raised Chassis: Replacing the front bumper is feasible after approval, but modifications such as raising the chassis to enhance off-road performance are not allowed. If illegal modifications are discovered during the annual inspection, they must be restored to the original condition. Exhaust System: Modifications such as changing tire specifications, altering the intake system, or modifying the exhaust system are not permitted by national regulations. Modifying the exhaust system may result in failing the tailpipe emissions test during inspection because the catalytic converter is not part of the original vehicle.
