I need help overriding the kernel module install path

As an ordinary user, I have built a kernel on one machine for
installation on another machine.

I now wish to build the kernel modules for this kernel.

I do not wish to become root, and install the modules in my lib
directory of my compiler machine, using make modules_install.

I want to override the module install path to a directory of my
choosing.

Does anyone know how I can do this ?

I don't mind modifying the Makefile for the kernel, but I'm not sure
which parts I would need to change.

The target machine will have a modified directory structure.
