A Japanese wide-body movement that turned exotic cars into rolling statements
Wataru Kato — known worldwide as "Kato-san" — built Liberty Walk in Nagoya, Japan out of the kaido racer and kyusha scenes, styles built around lowered stances and aggressive body modifications on classic Japanese cars. Kato brought that same philosophy to exotics starting in the 2000s, famously cutting into a Ferrari F40 before building his first full wide-body supercar program on a Lamborghini Murciélago; the resulting LB Performance Murciélago made its international debut at the 2009 SEMA show in Las Vegas and launched Liberty Walk's LB-Works program as a global phenomenon. A genuine Liberty Walk wide-body isn't a bolt-on body kit — it's a fundamentally reworked exterior, and often chassis and suspension geometry, that changes the car's actual value, repair complexity, and total-loss threshold.
Liberty Walk, model by model
Liberty Walk's LB-Works program spans Lamborghini, Ferrari, Nissan GT-R, and other platforms — ask us about your specific build.
LB-Works Lamborghini Aventador
2008–Present (Program Ongoing)
Liberty Walk's signature Lamborghini program, built on the wide-body philosophy Kato-san pioneered on the Murciélago and carried forward onto the Aventador — extensive bodywork, aggressive stance, and wheel fitment that fundamentally change the car's exterior and, often, its underlying suspension geometry.

Liberty Walk Ferrari 458
2010s–Present
Liberty Walk's wide-body treatment applied to Ferrari's 458 platform, reflecting the brand's broader expansion beyond Lamborghini into wide-body builds across Ferrari, Nissan GT-R, and other exotic and JDM platforms.

What published insurance data actually shows
The Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) — a nonprofit affiliated with the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety — publishes real collision loss statistics by vehicle series, and we cite that data on several of our other marque pages where it exists. It doesn't exist for Liberty Walk-modified vehicles specifically, for the same reason it doesn't exist for other aftermarket wide-body programs: HLDI tracks losses against the underlying manufacturer's stock VIN series, with no way to isolate the added value, repair complexity, or claims profile of an extensive wide-body conversion. We'd rather tell you plainly that the data doesn't exist than cite a number that isn't real. What this means in practice: a genuine LB-Works build has to be underwritten individually, based on its documented modifications, not the stock car's typical claims data.
What carriers actually ask before they'll write coverage
Given how extensively a Liberty Walk wide-body build can alter a car's exterior, wheel fitment, and sometimes suspension geometry, carriers want documentation of exactly what was installed — invoices, build photos, and confirmation of the shop that performed the work — so a claim reflects the car's actual modified value and repair needs rather than a stock baseline.
Some Liberty Walk owners showcase their car. Others keep it entirely private. Both are covered correctly.
Liberty Walk builds are, almost by design, meant to be seen — the brand's entire ethos is built around visual impact at car meets and shows. Coverage for these cars should reflect that these are showcase vehicles as much as, or more than, daily transportation, without assuming they're never actually driven.
An independent brokerage, not a single carrier
We're not captive to one insurance company, and we're not a dealership finance office. That independence is the point: our only job is finding you the right coverage at the right price, then advocating for you if you ever need to use it.
Access to multiple carriers
We shop coverage across a range of specialty and standard carriers instead of pricing everything through one company's rate table, so you see real options instead of a single take-it-or-leave-it quote.
Bundle for a better rate
Combine your Liberty Walk with your home, everyday autos, umbrella liability, other collector vehicles, and — where it applies — your business insurance. Carriers price account relationships, and that often means meaningfully better terms across the board.
Four things a standard policy misses
Agreed value covering the full wide-body build
The payout is set to reflect the documented Liberty Walk conversion on top of the base exotic — not a stock valuation guide that has no idea extensive bodywork was ever installed.
Build documentation & installer records
Coverage built around having invoices and specification records from the shop that performed the LB-Works installation on file ahead of any claim.
Wheel & fitment-specific coverage
Liberty Walk builds often pair extreme wheel and tire fitment with the wide-body kit itself, and both need to be reflected in the vehicle's documented value.
Multi-vehicle & collection discounts
Households with more than one modified or collector exotic are often eligible for meaningfully better account-level pricing.
