Ok, your Cybrtrk actually gets dented, crumpled, etc. somehow and it's cold pressed hardened steel. How does it get back to pre-crash condition?

You take it to a body shop who can work the stainless steel back to original or you replace the panels under insurance the same as today.

I guess the question is why worry about it? It’ll be insured for at least five years if you’re smart, so let the insurance company worry about it. By the time it’s anyone’s individual problem the shops will have a strategy that the insurance will pay for.

I hear you and I had the same idea a while back but then took into consideration the hardness of the skin, ever tried to drill into work-hardened SS door kick plates, good luck, even with cobalt bits it is impossible. This is gonna be a challenge.

I've worked with harder materials - inconel & titanium, so I know how... don't rely on homedepot drills/tools.
