Insurance covering the "wings" and mods on these cars in Hawaii I would think take second place to the massive law suits these accidents generate. Not to mention medical bills.

I recall one case where the car was in the parents name. The PARENTS got sued and they lost their house over the deal. The kid went to jail. I'm pretty sure they weren't worried about the car radio at that point.

Edit for addtional response:

I'm getting the impression here that Hawaii is a unique case with it's high speed (100 plus is typical) accidents involving the tuners. I wonder if it has something to do with having only ONE race track here and virtually no highways to "speed" on? The race track events are NOT geared toward the "tuners". Would this help? Perhaps the mainland is big enough for them to find isolated highways to do their thing?
