My definition of modifications are more along the lines of body kits, FI installations, engine swaps, etc. Not saying they wont consider paying out for some of these things but it's not something they'll immediately look at and say, "Hey, let's give this guy more money because he installed an Ebay CAI and a neon underglow kit!." When my Mazda was written off, it had tires that were literally less than 12 hours old and they gave me full value for them, despite the fact that the front two were melted beyond use.
They also paid for some repair upgrades I had done within the month leading up to the vehicle catching fire. I did all the install labour on those repairs, so they just considered the value of the parts themselves. But since I had all the receipts and even had photo documentation of the installs, they had no issue giving me a decent pro-rated payout for them.
