It sounds to me like you're comparing apples to oranges. If a $500.00 part is damaged in an accident that the vehicle is considered repairable, they will pay for it. If a car is considered a total loss that's an entirely different story. $25,000.00 in mods doesn't increase the value of the total loss vehicle any where near that amount. The example I often used when negotiating total losses is that a guy can spend $1,000.00 (or more) on a set of wheels and there's a good chance he's lowered the value of his car.
