Applying color change film to a car is not illegal, but it must be registered if the entire vehicle is covered. Since changing the color of a car is considered a modification, driving a car with a full-body color change film without registration is a violation of traffic laws. Precautions for applying color change film to a vehicle: The overall color of the film should not exceed three colors. If the car emblem is also covered with color, although the area is small, it is still included in the count. Partial film application covering less than 30% of the vehicle's total area generally has no impact. If the area is larger, traffic police may require the driver to update the vehicle registration certificate, depending on the situation. Electroplated color change films and all reflective color change films cannot be registered on the vehicle registration certificate. Laser series color change films can be registered on the vehicle registration certificate. Benefits of car color change film: It does not damage the original car paint and provides better protection: Regular car paint jobs are unlikely to match the original paint perfectly, and if the paint quality is substandard, it can cause damage such as rust and corrosion. Color change film eliminates this concern by isolating the car paint from air exposure, preventing oxidation and damage, and extending the lifespan of the original paint. Convenient and eco-friendly: When the owner no longer wants the color, the film can be easily removed without leaving marks or damaging the original paint. Made from high-molecular eco-friendly materials, it has no adverse effects on the car's paint.

Does a car purchased in 2014 need an annual inspection in 2021?

For the 6-year exemption policy, the time is calculated from the year of purchase. The first 5 years are exempt from on-site vehicle inspection, but it is required to apply for an inspection compliance mark at the vehicle management office every two years. Starting from the 6th year, an on-site annual inspection is required. A car purchased in 2014 will be in its 8th year by 2021, which is beyond the exemption period, so it needs an on-site annual inspection. Six-year exemption policy details: Content: Non-operational large, small, and mini (under 7 seats) sedans, as well as non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles registered within 6 years, enjoy the 6-year exemption policy.

What does a non-opening panoramic sunroof mean?

A non-opening panoramic sunroof refers to a large glass panel on the car roof that cannot be opened for ventilation. Vehicles equipped with this type of sunroof feature an expansive glass surface, but it remains fixed and cannot be opened to allow airflow. Some cars come with non-opening panoramic sunroofs, which enhance interior brightness but do not provide ventilation. Below are some maintenance tips for sunroofs: Avoid overusing the sunroof: Although the sunroof is part of the car's window system, its mechanical structure differs from that of side windows and doors, making it more delicate. Therefore, it should not be used excessively. Do not open the sunroof immediately in cold weather during winter: In northern regions where winters are extremely cold, the edges of the sunroof may freeze overnight due to dew, making it temporarily inoperable. In such cases, drivers should avoid attempting to open the sunroof right away, as accumulated snow in the sunroof tracks can increase resistance. Forcing the sunroof open under these conditions may damage the motor.
