Exclamation What would RS Body Kit Add to Totalled Value of a Car?

As some of you may hva ebeen follwing I was rear-ended and had my car totalled.

When I first bouyght the car it had the RS body, but I took it off because it was hideous.

I know its an option you pay extra for at the dealer though.

I'm wondering if I go put these RS body kit pieces I took off back on the car, or even lay them down next to the car, if it will bring the totalled value of the car up.

Anybody know?

I don't guess it could hurt. But if the RS pieces aren't jacked up like the rest of the car the adjuster may think something is up. Sorry to hear about your car though. Glad you are ok. Its cliche but its true. Cars are replaceable/fixable your life isn't.

Very Very True. Thank God I was actually wearing my seatbelt. Everything else in the car flew all over the place.

THanks for the kind words.
I'm debating taking them over, GM taping them to the car, or just paying them there and saying "look I took these off anyway soi there in perfect condittion. THe car should be worth even more mooney know!"

my old car had the rs kit on it and when it was totalled i dont think it added much to the car but i remember the adjuster saying they gave me a little more for some of the options on the car, dont know if that included the body kit though

It wouldn't add hardly anything to the adjusters' value, but you'd be able to sell it here for a decent price. Keep the pieces and sell it here. If it was part of the VIN number the adjuster will take that into account anyways.
