Looking for Input Please
My '08 JSB got whacked pretty hard in the parking lot. Dragged the tires nearly 3 feet after it was hit on the passenger side rear corner. Bumper cover is trash, rear PS quarter is too, broken tail lights, bent the corner of the steel bumper bar, and cracked the tub 
Repair bill is $5,000......this is a 3LT, Z51, with chrome wheels, both tops, HUD, and NPP with only 25k miles on it that was absolutely perfect in everyway not a scratch. How much has the car been devalued due to this extensive repair? I understand that I can claim "loss of value" to the insurance carrier even if the repair is perfect. Input please....

It's at a good body shop familiar with corvettes in Bowling Green.....3B Automotive. They actually tore it down prior to the adjuster getting there because we suspected tub damage. I just absolutely hate having it fixed, it was perfect!!! I really don't want to take a hit when trading time comes next year......really looking forward to a '14 Stingray.
thanks for the feedback!!
