Illegal car mods fueled by social media are causing fines, insurance loss, and vehicle seizures in Australia.
Social media trends are fueling a rise in illegal car modifications across Australia, with drivers facing fines, insurance voidance, and vehicle impoundment.
Popular changes like lowering kits, dark window tints, under-glow lights, and roof racks—often bought online—frequently violate state rules on light transmission, ground clearance, and vehicle height.
Fines range from $800 to $10,000, and vehicles may be seized.
Modifications affecting key systems must be approved to remain legal, and insurance can be canceled if unauthorized changes are found.
Authorities urge compliance with Australian Design Rules to avoid serious legal and financial consequences.
