Freakkin Freeways...ruined Front Bumper Relace?

Hey guys. I was driving down the 405 south today, going to the beach to meet a few friends. As im in the 3rd lane, a van in the 4th lane drives over either a stick or something long of some sort. The van's tires kicked the scarp into my lane and flew into my front bumper. It made a really loud noise, but i figured it just hit the underbody. Once I got to the beach, I notice this huge hole in my front bumper with paint being chipped and all. The hole goes completely through, I can see into the freakking car. Do I replace the bumper? Or do I get it fixed? How much would it cost to purchase something like a Nismo bumper (which is SO hot) and if I were to go aftermarket, would the front bumper, like the nismo, sit lower than the rest of the car? THats my main concern, except for the new air inlet for my "intercooler" thats right in the middle of my bumper. HELP!

That cant be repaired... you'll have to buy a new front bumper. I dont know if the Nismo sits lower, but most aftermarket bumpers usually sit lower than the regular OEM.

any recomendations of what I should do? Im looking into a Veilside version 1 kit which i think is pretty hot. how much would an OEM bumper from dealer cost? if I were to tell insurance that im getting a new bumper and instead purchase the kit, im hoping not to spend too much if i do that. i need opinions...thanks
