That's what I did also, added up retail cost of all of the major component upgrades on the car (Full suspension kit, brakes, wheels, engine, trans, rear axle, seats, gauges, etc) and added that to the cost of a solid nice paint complete like kind car. I put links to each component with pricing in the list I sent to insurer and had no problem getting them to agree to value.

Granted, I did not pay full retail for a lot of said parts but I also did not include the labor spent installing and tweaking said parts either.
