Dealer's that have body shops usually give the new car salesman the est. and lets say it is $825 the new car manager knows that he will have to tell the cust. so the body shop discounts the price on paper to meet the $500 threshold.

Just a thought
There was no VIN number on the panels. That means they are not the original panels and would have cost way more than $500 to buy new panels and repaint.
