I think one of my points was missed.

IF the insurance company believes they were insuring a young kid in a mild-mannered $20k car with nannies when they were in fact insuring a wild-man boosted 500 hp track car to be driven on the street (exaggerating for effect), worth $50k then the insurance company can deny your loss claim entirely because you were misrepresenting your true "risk level" and should have been paying more all along.

So you might actually want to downplay all your mods in some cases with the claim.
