Default Yes Another Insurance question

I was thinking of going with Hagerty(even though they won't insure an '88).

Anyway, they ask if your car is "stock" or "modified". Their explanations are vague. I know there are so many different things you can do to your car to "modify" it, but what about a different hood or having sidepipes? Could this still be considered stock? Its not like its a custom fabrication or that I have a 500HP motor in it and the premium is almost double if considered "modified"

What is everyone else doing?

I have Hagerty and when I went from a 350 trans to a 200R4 I called to increase my coverage and told them why - they had no problem with it.

My 77 is slightly "modified" with sidepipes, a cam, and a shift plate...but it did not seem to fall under "modified" with the Insurance Co. I would consider major alterations as "modified", not just exhaust or a hood.

Just to be clear, I would call them and have them explain "Modified". From what I have learned, all insurance companies have different thoughts on this.
