Can I insure a lifted Honda Civic?
I’m thinking about lifting my car, because I’m *really* into the aesthetic, but I’m afraid it’ll change my car insurance. I don’t want to make any modifications if it’s going to end up costing me hundreds more in insurance coverage. So, can I insure a Honda Civic without paying an arm and a leg?

Most vehicle modifications will change your insurance premium, and lifts are no different. So, while your carrier may not drop you, they probably will charge you more for a lifted Honda Civic.
The bottom line is this: a lift kit and tires will cost you hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars.
Most insurance policies are written to repair or restore a vehicle to “factory-built” conditions or replace it at “fair market value.” Therefore, they will not cover your costly upgrades unless you purchase a modification endorsement (and even those have limits).
Before modifying your car, speak with your insurance agent. Insurance companies have lift kit height limitations that typically range from 2”-6”. Exceeding these limits can void your
