Can modifications change the vehicle registration class?
Vehicle Modifications
Keep in mind that each state governs vehicle registration requirements differently, so you'll need to check with your DMV for modification specifics. But overall, yes, you can alter your vehicle's registration class through modifications.For example, depending on your state, removing and replacing the back seats of a passenger car with a permanent box or cargo rack will change its vehicle registration category to a commercial vehicle. Or, if you remove all of the back seats of a van or station wagon you may also choose commercial status.
On the other hand, again depending on your state. commercial vehicles can be modified into the passenger class category. A van with at least one side window and with at least one seat behind the driver gives you the option of applying for a car registration under two categories.
For modification specifics in your state, contact your DMV office. Be aware of the laws. There are some modifications that can be deemed illegal and result in being ticketed.
