What is an unlawful vehicle modification?
I’m just starting to get into the car modification scene, but I’m definitely trying to keep my car street legal. What is an example of an unlawful vehicle modification?

Good question! Car modding can be super fun, but there are definitely limitations.
Car modification laws vary from state to state, so you’ll need to check with your home state’s laws to get a definitive answer to what types of car modifications are illegal.
However, here are a few popular car modifications that are actually illegal:
- Light rig on a truck’s roof
- Loud exhaust
- Neon lights
- Front windshield tint
However, there are still plenty of modifications you can perform to make your car stand out! Common legal modifications include partially tinted windows, vinyl wrapping, snazzy paint jobs, or a lifted vehicle.
If you do decide to modify your car, you’ll also want to consider reviewing your
car insurance
coverage. An easy way to do this is with
