Crash parts are exterior or interior sheet metal or fiberglass panels in parts that form the superstructure or body of the motor vehicle, including, but not limited to, fenders, bumpers, quarter panels, door panels, hoods, grills, fire walls, permanent roofs, wheel wells, and front and rear lump display panels.

West Virginia law requires motor vehicle body shops to disclose information on crash parts before repairing your damaged vehicle. This prevents motor vehicle body shops and insurance companies from using certain types of crash parts for repair unless the motor vehicle owner consents in writing at the time of the repair.
