Again, I understand states can do it, but read that more carefully. Breaking down part B because the penalties of part A only apply to selling such things, "principal effect of the part or component is to bypass, defeat, or render inoperative any device or element of design." So a slight change seems a stretch of the bypass, defeat, break language. Then we still haven't gotten to if the federal government even would have this authority if challenged in a court. Most would probably just pay the $2500 fine but maybe that's why they don't enforce it on individuals. They have a tough case to prove when a jury is going to be sympathetic to the little guy against the heavy hand of tyranny when modifying cars is kind of a great American tradition.
