You also have to realize, the likely hood of Insurance Agent Joe Schmoe knowing that it was aftermarket piece is slim to none...all you have to do is if asked a question is you painted it. That's even if he looked.....

Hard to say....but OP....call it in!!!

If the OP doesnt want it I have the passenger side airbar out of my 2001 camaro that you can have for super cheap (basically cover the shipping) just to get it out of my garage.

if anyone wants it just send me a PM or something

OP sorry for your misfortune, glad UMI took care of you and the car is going back together.
