Ethically I agree completely but this should only be done if you're past your warranty (or don't care about it).

I agree. And be ready for the insurance company to deny all claims related to the vehicle once they discover the "modification".

People do car modifications all the time, and the car is still covered under warranty.

Since the vehicles don't burn any gas and don't have any emission standards to comply with, the issue here is even less important.
