yes, cut out the damage. You have to trim that exact same spot to put on any RB kit... even the K4MSH

You said you will slap on a wide body after the repair is fix, if you are thinking it will hide the cuts let me tell you that you won't see ANY cut, you car will look like how it came out from the factory, you should be checking for match paint if anything. Don't worry insurance got you covered. |

Not saying it isn't possible might want to hit up more information on the forum / rocket bunny section, just want you to know the insurance most likely won't cover the cost of doing the entire RB wide body

bottom line, they HAVE a way to increase the total cost and you CAN get extra out of your repair. Heck you can even get them to take our your deductible. OF COURSE you have to deal with the shop. |

OP, call your insurance company and ask them what you need to do, That's what you pay them for. |

We all love to complain about how much insurance costs but the reason it costs so much is because there is an entire industry based around getting as much money out of the insurance company for a repair that costs significantly less. We had a analogous situation in Australia recently, there was a program created by the government to incentivise installing home roof insulation, the government would pay up to $1500 for each installation. Want to guess how much the majority of the installations cost? $1500, what a coincidence!!! |
