What are the penalties for installing a rear wing?
1 Answers
Domestic regulations on vehicle modifications are very strict, and the scope of legal modifications is extremely limited. The exterior appearance of a vehicle cannot be significantly altered and must remain largely consistent with the photo on the vehicle registration certificate. Modifications that damage the vehicle's structure, change tire specifications, or alter the intake or exhaust systems are considered illegal. Relevant information regarding the installation of a rear wing is as follows: 1. Penalty amount: Installing a small, decorative-style rear wing is not considered an illegal modification and is not subject to penalties. However, if an excessively large rear wing is installed without proper registration with the vehicle management department, the driver may face penalties if caught by traffic police, typically involving a 2-point deduction on the driver's license and a fine of 200 yuan (regulations and penalties vary by region and are for reference only). 2. Which types of rear wings are not illegal: Small, decorative-style rear wings are not illegal, while slightly exaggerated wings are considered illegal modifications. Installing a large rear wing is a blatant violation of the law, whereas a small ducktail spoiler may be less noticeable and thus less likely to be detected.
