Default Filing an insurance claim?

I just noticed a huge amount of gauges and scratches on my rear windshield and my rear hatch. It looks like someone has damaged that. I have also noticed the same things in my front bumper. I have a 97 Formula and was wondering if I filed an insurance claim, with my 500 dollar deductable, if they would order me and install paint, etc. a 97 Trans Am front bumper and the 97 WS6 hatch. These damages are pretty intense with the amount that is on there, and I don't want them there anymore! Will this be allowed?

Besides your insurance rates probably going up, the body shop will make you pay the difference on the TA pieces.

I already know my rates won't go up by damages not caused by me, but damages caused by an accident will. I have full coverage on my car. I'm only aware of me having to pay a 500 dollar deductable and they put on whatever. The rear hatch for a TA and the front bumper I believe cost the same. Someone vandalized my sisters car and was about 2200 in damages, and her rates didn't go up. I talked to the insurance agent and she said the rates won't go up.
