I'm not worried about my warranty. I'm worried about my auto insurance with Metlife. I've heard that if you are ever involved in a crash with aftermarket parts, your insurance could be voided, leaving you without coverage. How are people insuring their cars with aftermarket parts?

ah. They cannot drop you because you have aftermarket parts. Some will drop you if they think you are racing, or have proof that you are racing.

Most insurers will not cover the aftermarket parts at all, they have special really expensive insurance for that type of thing.

So they will cover your car, but they will not replace aftermarket parts without special coverage.

If I'm wrong please correct me.

While that would not surprise me, all insurers prolly have different limits, but asking is best if you are worried. heh, my wheels alone are worth more than 1k.
