It may not be the intended design purpose, but Modifications are also useful for tracking modifications on Vehicle Actors. They will appear on the vehicle's Gear Tab in the Modification category, distinguishing them from other Items the vehicle may be carrying as cargo. They're also a good place to store Active Effects to be applied to the vehicle.
