I think you should be honest with your insurance company and whenever you mod the car, take some pics and copies of the receipts and give them to your agent.

I've done this with all my mods and my rates have gone up only a very slight amount, and there's no questions asked if you have a claim.

Sorry for your troubles.

Probably time to invest in some wheel locks.

I was thinking the same thing, rims were stoled and calipers were vandalized

What "ricer" touches? I hate "rice" and I don't see any "rice".

Nor do I, that is Verde Ithica from Lamborghini. Same high temp paint used on the Gallardo's calipers. If you're calling Lamborghini paint "rice" then you sir are high

Sucks! I feel your pain. I had my '65 pony mustang ripped off years ago in LA. Got it back less engine, trans, interior and wheels. Restored it again but it just wasn't the same so I sold it.

No cameras nearby? I have Hagerty on my Corvette as well as my classic cars. 0 deductable and full replacement value. They don't care what mods are on the cars.

Man that sucks big time. Sure insurance pays for it but what a hassle getting everything replaced. Did you have wheel locks?

You say they took the wheels off your "Z" I may be wrong, but don't all Z51 have drilled rotors? Are your drilled it's tough to tell from the photo, but they don't look like the Z51 drilled rotors...

As I said I could be wrong but was just wondering...
