I do agree with you on one new piece could make the rest of the panels look not so good. Since the panels are protected by a underlining rollcage the wear will be minimal as were's a body shell that has no protection underneath it ( except the middle roll bar ) will bend and flex alot faster thus cracking. One tiny crack can spread thru out, ruining the whole body. Those panels will bend only so far in a hit, then the rollcage stops it from going any further. I think it will take a long time for those panels to start showing wear and tear. I don't know what those panels will cost, pricing on parts is not available yet. Hopefully they won't be that expensive.
