That said, they let you strip whatever you want off after as long as you replace it with an equivalent (ie: rip your fancy stereo out and just shove the OEM one back in... or take your wheels but put some kind of wheels back on.
I mean, in a really ugly accident with other parties involved / injured if it’s your fault there’s some risk of the other party saying your car caused further injury due to mods, etc. It’s a bit of a gamble.

Last year my wife's CRV was rear ended and written off. ICBC deducted $150 from the settlement because I took out the dvd player and put back in the stock deck.
YMMV
