Is installing side steps on a car considered illegal modification?

[VanKylie]

Installing side steps on a vehicle is not considered illegal modification. Here are specific details about vehicle modifications: 1. Regulations on vehicle modifications: Any changes to a licensed vehicle's body color, model, performance, purpose, structure, or replacement of chassis, body, or engine must be reported to the vehicle management office for modification registration. 2. Regulations on installing side steps: This is determined based on the specific model's "Announcement of Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products" content. You can check the model announcement at the vehicle management office's number selection hall. If the announcement includes side steps, they can be installed directly. If not, installation requires approval and modification registration from the vehicle management office.
