The biggest issue is that when people 'total' a car, they normally take the first amount the adjuster gives them. You can always show a adjuster proof that your vehicle is worth more.

If you need to know more, let me know and I can get specifics.
Hey Arthur, that's some good info. Can you please elaborate on the law you eluded to. What happens if you have more than $5000 in parts that increase safety? What if I have some parts that make my car faster?

BTW, I do need to upgrade my brakes...I know this.
