What are the new regulations for spoiler modifications in 2020?

Spoiler modification is considered an alteration of the vehicle's appearance and is illegal. Here are some precautions regarding vehicle operation: Pre-departure inspection: Conduct a comprehensive check of your vehicle before each trip, including checking for oil or water leaks, measuring tire pressure to ensure it's appropriate, inspecting the engine oil condition to verify its color is normal and the oil level is correct. Safe driving: Properly use seat belts, as they provide protection during severe collisions that is no less effective than airbags. Avoid fatigued driving; take a break every 2 hours. Obey traffic rules: Especially on highways, do not speed. Speeding not only risks penalties from traffic police but, more importantly, is unsafe.
I've been driving my own car for many years and am quite familiar with the 2020 regulations on spoiler modifications. When the new motor vehicle registration regulations came out that year, they emphasized safety first: the height of the spoiler must not exceed 30 centimeters, otherwise the downforce at high speeds becomes unstable and can easily cause the car to flip. I saw a friend recklessly install a large spoiler, which increased wind resistance and caused the car to drift, nearly leading to an accident. Filing the modification is a mandatory step—you have to visit the vehicle management office to fill out forms and submit materials, such as proof of modification and invoices. If the modification is too extreme, it definitely won't be approved, and you might even face a fine of over 200 yuan. I recommend choosing a lightweight spoiler that meets factory specifications, ensuring it's securely installed and regularly inspected—appearance is secondary, safety comes first. These new regulations have been a huge help, reducing accidents and giving me more peace of mind while driving.
