Question FI/Heavy Modification Insurance

I've recently invested a large sum of money into my BRZ like many of you but my insurance (USAA) only covers $5k worth of modifications. This would probably suffice if I got in a fender bender but if my car is stolen I'd be in pretty deep. What have you guys done or what insurance companies have you guys gone through to get adequate insurance?

You could get a third party, professional appraisal and do a "stated" policy. Where the amount of the appraisal is what you're insuring.

A speed3, money well invested.

The worst really was the loss in time invested.
