Will the traffic police check modified front splitters and side skirts?

If you file the modification with the vehicle management office, the traffic police will not check it. Installing front splitters and side skirts is considered an exterior modification. Here is some additional information: 1. Reasons for modification: Many car modification enthusiasts like to install front splitters and side skirts on their cars. After installation, the car's chassis appears lower, and it also enhances the vehicle's appearance. Some front splitters can even serve an aerodynamic function, as can some side skirts. 2. Preventing damage: When installing front splitters and side skirts, it is essential to go to a professional shop to ensure they are securely installed. If you have installed these modifications, you must be cautious when driving on rough, unpaved roads. Some car owners even opt for carbon fiber front splitters, which can be costly to replace if damaged. Front splitters are highly susceptible to damage during daily use, so careful consideration is necessary before installation.

I've been driving for over 20 years and modified my car body several times, including adding a front splitter and side skirts. Each annual inspection resulted in strict scrutiny from traffic police. These modifications lowered the car, making it too conspicuous—officials could immediately tell it wasn't the factory design. According to traffic regulations, any parts altering the vehicle's appearance or height must first be approved by the DMV; otherwise, it's considered illegal modification, subject to fines or even penalty points. Once, I was pulled over because the front splitter was too low, deemed a safety hazard. My advice: before modifying, check with your local DMV, preferably take photos for documentation to avoid trouble. If caught, promptly remove or restore the original parts—that's the right approach.

I'm into car modifications, and front splitters and side skirts are my favorites. But my friends often complain that traffic police checks are strict, especially on main city roads or highway entrances. Officers will visually assess if the modifications exceed limits. If the front splitter protrudes too much or the side skirts are widened, the car may be flagged as a safety hazard. Once at a meetup, a buddy got fined 200 RMB right after his mod and was ordered to restore the car within a deadline. Actually, regulations state that changes to vehicle height or dimensions must be registered, otherwise it's considered non-compliant. My advice is to check local policies online or consult reputable shops before modifying—don't dive in blindly.

I prioritize driving safety. Although adding a front splitter and side skirts looks cool, the police really do check for these modifications because they can lower the chassis, making collisions even more dangerous. Traffic regulations state that any modifications affecting safety performance are considered violations. I've heard many cases where traffic police, during roadside spot checks, pull over and issue warnings if they notice abnormal vehicle height. For the safety of yourself and others, it's best not to casually install these parts—the original vehicle design is the safest option. Before making any modifications, consulting a professional technician to assess the risks is a necessary step.
