Insurance on high dollar evos?

All you guys that have highly tuned Evos, what do you do for insurance? I want to street drive mine so I got a stated value quote from my insurance company and my insurance pretty much doubled. Is there a better way to go?

in my opinion you dont really need to insure your mod investment. if you total your car, odds are you are going to be able to pull pretty much everything off the car. unless its on fire or some ****. then at that point i would be too glad that im alive to worry about the mods in my car lol


I use allstate and im paying $23 a month for full coverage including uninsured and theft on my evo. but i also have home insurance thru them and 5 other cars on the policy so i get breaks from them.

I was thinking about this the other day...what if you had a built engine, big turbo kit, and serious engine management...like 10 to 15,000 in big parts plus all small stuff. Than for some crazy reason car gets stolen...with out added insurance your screwed right? I have some big plans for my car and its garaged...but what if you just drive to the grocery store one day and bad luck...car is taken.

Hmm I'm at 134 a month with 2 cars, full coverage. I think that if you keep all your receipts then you will be close to being all set. I know of people who had accidents or things stolen and had original receipts, they almost recouped all the parts monies. The problem with me is... buying most of the stuff 2nd hand and no cost for labour. That leaves me in a bind. Insurance will take it if I get the car appraised, and pay a little more. I'm happy now that the Evo is going to remain mostly stock (except for a few engine mods) I will be more than happy to upgrade to a newer year if it gets totalled or stolen

that's basically what I'm talking about, but if $3k is $20-30 per month, what is $40k?
