The new policy for modification has been implemented! Bumpers, luggage racks, and side steps are included in the compliance modification list, and the industry is experiencing policy dividends!

In 2026, the detailed rules for the classification and management of domestic automobile modifications will be accelerated. The State Council has designated 26 exterior accessories such as bumpers, side steps, roof racks, and grille surrounds as a category of mild compliance modifications. After the vehicle is installed, it only needs to be registered with the vehicle management office to legally enter the road and no longer face the problem of failing annual inspections. Hubei, Guangdong, and Zhejiang have taken the lead in implementing local regulations, which stipulate that the installation height of luggage racks should not exceed 20cm of the original car roof, and the total height of the roof luggage compartment should not exceed 50cm, which is considered compliant. The implementation of new regulations directly drives the demand in the aftermarket after modification. In the first quarter of 2026, domestic and foreign decoration modification orders increased by 22% year-on-year, and orders from bumper, SUV pedal, and luggage rack manufacturers continued to increase.
