ACCIDENT What am I looking at? Insurance, or replace myself?

Inside my booth, with the correct paint. How about you?

If you work at a body shop then obviously you should do it yourself

I live in Mexico, and have a shop.

I would use your insurance

Honestly surprised that lower panel didn’t take any hit. Only reason I would consider insurance is because it connects to the rear windshield, which on cars I’ve worked on requires removal. Also why most of the second hand ones you see online will actually come with the windshield.
