I have a 2020 Billet Silver rubicon and 2 weeks ago a lady swerved over and hit my front passenger side fender. Debating on if I should have a body shop repair it or use the money to upgrade. Thoughts? Also, If I upgrade do you have any suggestions on what to upgrade too? Thanks

Really depends on a yuge number of factors and really only you can make the determination. What is the planned future for your Jeep? If you were planning on metal chopped fenders then go for it. Personally I’d get it finished or probably buff it out and take the money. It doesn’t look bad from the pic you posted.

There is a gap above the lights.

The only reason to get the body shop involved is because you have painted fenders.

Other than that it's maybe a 2 hour job in the driveway.
