Youre probably gonna have to show that they cost 4k.

Or you could straight up tell him.

im pretty sure as long as the car has a motor and wheels on it and stuff then ull be ok. my friends full tuned eclipse got totalled and he took the rims adn engine and stuff and just put old stuff in it. not sure about your insurance company though they might have stricter policies
