Appreciate your response.

I was equally concerned about protecting the value of my mods... So I contacted Hagerty which offered a set value coverage. I can tell you for $55k coverage, they wanted about $1,000 a year to insure AND really don't want you driving the car. That was 3x's what my normal insurance was with no mileage limitations... I know people with 1st Gens (worth more than mine) that only pay them a few hundred a year. They admitted to me that they HEAVILY surcharge the new cars to offer cheap rates to the old cars.
Just last year my insurance starting offering a rider for "excess custom equipment" so I got that to protect my mods. I feel they would treat the replacement value of the car a little differently knowing it is limited edition. Every insurance company is going to be a little different...
