Aftermarket parts insured???
Do you guys contact your insurance company after putting on aftermarket parts? Things like rims, exhaust, suspension, etc. Would the premium go up? Would they pay you for the parts if it was damaged let's say in an accident (*knock on wood*)? Apologies if this is a repost or in the wrong section.

$30 per policy renewal period - i.e. $60/year.

They cover everything on my car at no additional cost.

I used to adjust claims for mercury and you will need the items to be specifically listed for coverage (exclusion 'h' if I recall correctly of your comprehensive portion). if you do not, they will pay for the cost of replacing oem parts. as noted, it is pretty inexpensive coverage for something that is pretty likely to be stolen (rims especially). In the two years I handled stolen cars, almost everyone had custom wheels and/or other mods.
