Body kit, Hood, fender and insurance question~!

As some of you know the my car got messed up and now im looking to do something with the front. Im thinking of getting the RKSports Vented hood. I need a different front bumper and front fenders. I want a new body kit (i had the ss/na one) My insurance is going to cover getting new parts but how do i get the shop to order the parts I want instead of the OEM Parts? Aslo are their any front bumpers that look good with the stock side skirts and rear bumper?

if the insurence is paying for them, they wont order aftermarket parts unless it was on the car during the accident. I wanted a few things when i got in my accident but they said no. However they paid to replace my gen 1 headlights.

Evo Carbon Fiber Hood style hood .....Take it to a shop you know, Some places will give you a check, well insurance places. I would say RK lips with G5 RK rear lip, it fits and is the best looking Rear other then SS IM.
