What We Think
We appreciate the enthusiasm of individuals seeking to personalize their vehicles for a distinctive appearance. However, it is crucial to understand that most car modifications are illegal in India. Therefore, we strongly advise our viewers and readers against pursuing extensive and comprehensive modifications. If you desire some customizations to your vehicle, we recommend consulting your local Regional Transport Office (RTO) beforehand. If the customizations are legal, you can have them officially updated in the registration certificate of your vehicle.
