Is Installing a Decorative Spoiler on a Car Illegal?
1 Answers
Installing a spoiler is considered an illegal act and falls under unauthorized vehicle modifications. Driving a vehicle with illegal modifications on public roads will result in the vehicle being impounded by traffic police authorities, confiscation of the illegal modifications, an order to restore the vehicle to its original condition, and a fine of 200 yuan as per the law. Below are the relevant handling measures for illegally modified vehicles: 1. Vehicles with illegal modifications will not be issued a safety technical inspection compliance mark by traffic police authorities. 2. If it constitutes a public security management violation, public security authorities will impose penalties such as fines or detention in accordance with the relevant provisions of the "Public Security Administration Punishment Law." 3. When modifying your vehicle, it is essential to apply for a modification registration with the traffic management department of the public security authority to ensure the vehicle can pass annual inspections and routine safety checks after modification. 4. To install a spoiler legally, you must first file a record with the vehicle management office, proceed with the modification, and then return to the vehicle management office for photography. The modification must not exceed the stipulated limits and must be approved to be considered legal.
