Actually I'm pretty sure that the law forbids operating the vehicle if those changes are made, not the making of said changes. That is typical of how things are written. This is an important distinction, it is easy for forbid what you can do with something but not to something in a given state.

To clairfy, "the law forbids operating the vehicle" ON PUBLIC HIGHWAYS "if those changes are made". We assume cars are going to be driven on public roads - not always. If you are GM, Ford, or Consumer Reports, and have your own test track then none of those rules apply. You also don't have to have a liscense plate or use gasoline with highway use taxes. If you take it off road or have a farm and only use the vehicle for farm use, the rules don't apply.

Actually, if you're not going out onto public streets, not only does your vehicle not need to be street legal, you also don't need a license to drive. (One of the things I learned visiting my grandparents' farm.)
