I'm hoping to get my White 96 (actually metallic ivory HA) repainted. i replaced the base bumper covers with LSC's; I also have the LSC side/fleet inserts. The 1st body shop I went to for an estimate said there's no way he can reuse the ones I have- they are too wavy and would never stay adhered.

Is he right? can these be reused?

I did not remove these, I guess it's possible the guy who did messed them up during removal?

It looks like they were stretched when they were removed. I would lay them on some towels, cover with towels, lay a long board on top and weight it down with concrete blocks or something heavy. Let them sit for a couple weeks depending on temperature and they should be a lot straighter.
 
Yeah it looks like they were pulled off more than Cut off.
 
Under normal circumstances they are a direct replacement Dan but these are definitely warped. Do what Driller said. Leave them out in the sun though. Let them get soft with the heat a few times & stiffen back up at night. Maybe that will get them back to their original state.
