Which aspects of a car can be legally modified?
2 Answers
Legally modifiable aspects of a car: 1. Wheel rims can be modified without altering the vehicle's length, width, or main body structure, but the rim size must match the original factory specifications; 2. The vehicle's color can be changed, but if the modification covers more than 30% of the body surface, the owner must visit the vehicle management office within 10 days to take new photos and apply for the change; 3. Running boards and bumpers can be modified, but the main body structure of the vehicle cannot be altered; 4. Headlights can be modified, but the color cannot be changed, the color temperature must be below 6000K, and the use of bi-xenon lenses without glare issues must not affect the safety of oncoming drivers.
I just made some minor modifications to my car last month and researched quite a few legal projects. First, the most common modification is the car's appearance. Changing the car's color is completely fine, just remember to register the change at the vehicle management office within 10 days after the modification. Wheels can also be replaced, as long as they maintain the same size as the original and don't alter the tire specifications. Installing a roof rack is allowed, provided the height doesn't exceed 30cm. There are even more modifications allowed inside the car, like replacing seats with genuine leather, adding a navigation screen, or installing a rearview camera—all perfectly legal. I also added side steps to make it easier for elderly and children to get in and out, and such modifications that don't alter the structure are acceptable. Finally, the low beam headlights can be upgraded to LED, but they must meet the lumen and color temperature requirements. All these modifications have been verified through registration, so I can hit the road with peace of mind!
