I need to do something about it so i can get it fixed then send it over to get it re-wrapped :/ |

Most companies push for aftermarket OE quality parts if the car is more than a year old. Very rarely will they offer to pay for OEM parts right off the bat and the older the car is the less likely they'll pony up for 100% OEM parts. This is a very standard practice. Usually the body shop will work with them if you want OEM parts, at least that's been my experience. Sucks but it is what it is.
