What Are Mod Plates – When a vehicle has been significantly modified from its original state it still has to comply with Queensland Transport Regulations and Australian Design Rule Legislation.
A Modification Plate shows that the modifications have been done to the appropriate standard.
Here are some examples of modifications that need a Mod plate:
Changes made to the number of seats, different engines, transmissions, brakes or steering. Long range fuel tanks or roll cages also have to comply with the appropriate legislation. This is mainly for safety reasons so that it does not present a hazard to the occupants or other road users.
The Modification Plate is usually fitted in the engine compartment.
Sunshine Coast Mod Plates can do this service for you to keep you and your vehicle safe and legal.

There is a National Code of Practice [NCOP] for modifying vehicles which can be viewed on the Queensland Transport web site and there are also some specific modification standards required in the state of Queensland. See Light vehicle Modifications.
