Damaged front si bumper from hitting dog

I just hit a large dog that ran out in front of me on my way home from work tonight. My front bumper is now cracked. Why cant people keep their dogs tied up? After I settle with my insurance company I am thinking of just going ahead and getting the hfp aero kit to replace my current bumper. I know this is a stupid question but is it an entire new front bumper of just a trim piece added to existing bumper? Does anyone have any suggestions about replacement bumpers. I want to be able to match the paint well preferably with honda factory paint. I have an 07 si habi coupe. I figured while I am already out $250 dollars on deduct. I might as well spend even more for the hfp bumper. Any help would be appreciated.

Trim piece, you'd have to get a new bumper and then the lip kit.

The dog is mutilated on the road. Yeah, after looking up the hfp kit I now realize that it is just a trim kit. Can a cracked front bumper be repaired? I hope not. I just want to replace it with a new bumper. Also, does anyone know if honda bumpers come prepainted from the factory if I replace it? I just want my car back to as new condition as possible. I also figure a new bumper over a repaired bumper would result in less downtime for my car. thanks,

it can be fixed and painted... i do also believe you can buy a new one and paint that.... i think they would cost near the same... but yeah dude... i think the hfp makes the car look totally different. like the front looks all rounded and shit without the kit... but iono thats my opinion. its ur call
