I'm not assuming anything, I was just curious. Thanks guys.

Been there, done that, had fun but lost money on the sale.

FYI Notes:
By law it will remain what the VIN# says it is, and you will have a hybrid with reduced value, unless someone likes what you have done and offers a fair price.
Be sure you know the applicable laws of your state are, some can make your life hell just to register/licenses it if/when they become aware of the alterations.

You must fully disclose any alteration and/or re-badging at time of sale, or be open to many State and US government criminal charges.
The following is paranoid butt covering that has saved many from jail and/or fines.
Have a witness or three, several sets of hard copy document covering
everything "not stock" and get everyone to sign all copies, lock your copy in a safe location (give witness copy) and assume the buyer (or flip sale future owner) will try legal action within seven years.

This information may help you understand the system.
