All that in name of safety of course.

The flip side of the coin, is that if you let everyone have it their way, you'll see the weirdest engine and external mods - and they won't all be aimed at reducing drag or fuel consumption.
An extensive mod to the front of a car, changes the way it crashes into other cars, changes the way it collides with pedestrians - something that is only now being looked at in earnest !
Engine mods certainly won't all be aimed at reducing fuel consumption. And even those that are, will have a very good chance / certainty of increasing engine pollution in the process.
Bottom line, you can't let people do as they please, because it'll always affect other people.
