If you're going to deduct the value of the stock parts then you need to compare apples to apples. New cost with new cost or used cost with used cost. You can't ask for the new cost of the aftermarket item minus the used cost of the stock item, not an equal comparison.
In an accident the regular insurance covers replacement cost of stock items. If you have an aftermarket item and want it covered, then you should compare the new cost of the aftermarket item to the stock item. If the aftermarket item is more, then you want additional insurance to cover the difference. If the aftermarket item is less than the stock item then you're already covered.
I think if you spend some time researching the replacement cost of the stock items you've removed from your car then you would be greatly surprised at how little value you've added.
