Guess this is our proper guide lines. LTO guideline is so vague nga depende ra sa interpretation of the traffic enforcers.

1.Vehicle Modification is physical changes that alter the original manufacture’s design. Illegal Vehicle Modification is physical changes that are not documented .

U.S. Forces, Japan personnel are prohibited from physically modifying, or altering their vehicle, which changes the original manufacturer’s design (i.e., serial number, tires, rims, suspension, steering wheel, timing of signal flashers, exhaust, etc.).

Under no circumstances will the structure of a motor vehicle be altered or compromised without approval of the Land Transportation Office through application at the Joint U.S. Forces Vehicle Registration Office.

-- We yet to form an office here in philippines for approval

No motor vehicle shall be operated with its length, width, and height exceeding those designated on the current inspection certificate.

3.Minimum Ground Clearance
Motor vehicles will not be operated without 9 centimeters (3.54 inches) of clearance from the roadway surface.

Rule of Thumb: If you cannot slide a pack of cigarettes under the vehicle then it is to low.

The number plate lamp shall be wired so that it may on whenever the headlamps, auxiliary headlamps, or clearance lamps are turned on during the periods of reduced visibility or at night.
