This is a bit OT so my apologies. I'm looking at selling or trading in my existing car, which has full-body PPF installed. But, there are several damaged panels that aren't going to clean up. Most of the passenger side is covered in some unknown substance (paint? construction adhesive?) and there's an impact mark on the hood. The way I see it, I have the three choices, listed in the poll. If I do nothing, I don't spend money, but I could end up losing money on the trade-in. If I remove the damaged panels, I'll end up spending money in the hope of gaining more than I spend on the trade-in. Replacing them was significantly more expensive.
The prices I was quoted were ~$400-960 to just remove the side panels (variation seemed to be driven by how much clean-up was needed after removal), or $1800 to remove and replace the side panels, with $400-ish to replace the hood (didn't get a removal-only quote on this)
