I have a feeling this is going to be an insurance nightmare.

So what?

On a more practical note, i suspect the skin is very load bearing and the whole concept of removing a panel for replacement will not be practical. It will more be like cut and replace. Since it is cold worked, not many mild dings will stay.

What i mean to say is, perhaps the vehicle wont ding unless the crash is severe enough to set of air bags anyway.

That is probably why they did the sledge hammer test.
