1 Answers
Installing a tow hook without authorization is illegal. The relevant regulations and scope of car modifications are introduced as follows: Relevant regulations for car modifications: Car modifications must be carried out in compliance with relevant regulations, otherwise they will not pass the annual inspection. Therefore, before modifying their cars, owners should consult in advance whether the parts they intend to modify are illegal, and then proceed with the modifications. Scope of car modifications: The car model, engine model, and frame number cannot be changed, and the body structure cannot be damaged. If the car color is changed, or the engine, body, or frame is replaced, the car must be submitted for inspection. For replacing the engine, body, or frame, a motor vehicle safety technical inspection certificate must also be submitted. Installing windshields, water tanks, toolboxes, spare tire racks, front and rear anti-collision devices, or adding interior decorations to the car requires applying for a modification registration.
