You won't have an insurance claim on the car. Many, many cars are damaged at port, fixed, and no one knows. The same thing can happen at the factory if a bad transmission is installed and the car is kicked offline for repairs, for example. As long as the car is still owned by the manufacturer, They don't have to disclose anything until the car gets to the dealer. Hell, your RS1.0 was built as basically a stock FR-S and the suspension, exhaust, and fender garnishes were disassembled to get your lowering springs, quad tip exhaust, and TRD fender garnishes.

Some states have laws that prevent a car from being sold new if it has a certain amount of damage at the dealer. I once saw an OEM buy back a car because the engine went at the dealer and the state law said that car couldn't be sold as new anymore.
