What are the 2020 modification regulations regarding spoilers?
1 Answers
Although the "Motor Vehicle Inspection Work Regulations" have relaxed some vehicle modification policies, spoiler modifications are not supported. Installing a spoiler is considered an alteration of the vehicle's appearance and is classified as illegal. Therefore, it is not recommended to modify spoilers. Below are the relevant details: The function of a car spoiler: Spoilers are part of aerodynamic design and are commonly seen on various racing cars. Factory-installed spoilers on civilian vehicles are generally not overly exaggerated, and some even feature retractable spoilers. When a car is driving at high speed, air passing over the spoiler increases downforce (typically by several dozen kilograms, with some even exceeding 100 kilograms), improving driving stability. Additionally, a well-designed spoiler can reduce air resistance, contributing to fuel efficiency to some extent. Penalties: Regardless of the spoiler's size, even if you proactively report the modification to the traffic police department, you will only be ordered to restore the vehicle to its original condition. This is because the "Motor Vehicle Inspection Work Regulations" classify spoiler modifications as illegal, making them ineligible for registration. If caught on the road, the public security and traffic management authorities will impound the vehicle, confiscate the illegal device, order restoration to the original condition, and impose a fine.
