It'll be a bit of mess but it can be done in one of two ways; at least with how things happened with me and State Farm.
Since you already have the body shop price in the PPF as their submitted estimate, the insurance company is going to pay the body shop for all the items in the estimate/repair bill. The body shop will then pay the PPF place. This happened with one of my claims with my Toyota. I had aftermarket bulbs installed in my car when I hit a deer. The body shop put into the estimate the cost of getting replacement units. The body shop then purchased the LED bulbs from a local supplier. Fast forward almost three years, one of the LED bulbs had a burnt out emitter. I went back to the body shop to get a warranty claim put in. They handled the transaction with the local supplier since technically they were the customer for the supplier.
Also with this repair, I forgot to get the clear PPF/vinyl accounted for that I had applied onto the the headlight lenses. I contacted State Farm and they said to just go to the PPF place to get it done and then submit the bill to them for reimbursement.
