The kid that vandalized my truck also kicked my lightbar and dented the back, but my question is: Can I tell the judge that it was an $800 lightbar from rigid industries even though I only paid $350? The lightbar has no names on it so I don't see why not? And no, I wouldn't feel bad for taking his money just like he denying feel bad for smashing a hole in my grille. If anything is call it even!😉
You can be a dishonest derp and tell him the reason yer grimacing all the time is because ye johnson is so long it drags on the ground, too.
Just be prepared to prove it. As in - a receipt. Anything that expensive - one is expected to retain records for warranty purposes.

Usually the judge will request some type of documentation from you before awarding you any monetary judgment, or you would have to prove replacement value ie receipts. I wouldn't lie about anything in court because if you get caught in a lie the judge may just throw your entire case out and you will get nothing

Exactly what MGD and 808f150 state.
Try to pull one over a judge? Watch how far your integrity gets you for the remainder of the case.
You got vandalized. Now you wish to lower yourself to their level? Not wise. It would be like arguing with a stupid person; they will only bring you to their level, then beat you with experience.

Maybe the judge will find you in contempt of court for lying.

Do the right thing. Print out the info on the cost of the replacement light bar, but ask for what you paid. Don't lower yourself do the other douche's level.

yea you need documentation no matter what the lightbar cost...no documentation no reimbursement regardless of cost...and like others have said it could very easily be turned against you if the judge gets suspicious...and just remember this is a public forum so all it takes is a quick search on here
