Default Cone in road going 75mph

I recenlty hit a 4 1/2 ft tall cone going 75 mph+ on I-35 by san marcos.
Fu@ked up my bumper pretty good. Is the stock bumper fiberglass or urethane....(whats it made of?)

Im wondering if i shoudl try to repair it myself, or just get a new one and get it painted. The cheaper the better. Then there is the question of Its a good time to get a more agressive style bumper/kit. Anybody know of a good front bumper that will match stock side skirting so I dont have to do the whole kit right now?

Any info is appreciated!

The bumper is raw plastic. I can't tell you if it's fixable or not without a pic. I would personally go with either a nismo bumper or a stocker with a lip, but that's just my personal opinion.

It is urethane ---But traffic cones come in two sizes and the tallest is 24 inches-----It just seemed that tall @ 75 mph---Much like that dead ArmaDILDO I hit a couple weeks ago, It felt like a I ran over a Tyraunasoris Rex!

New Bumpers are 250 or so --If ur aint bad it can be fixed

Stock bumper is raw plastic. Urethane is more flexible that raw plastic.

Poly Urethane is a fancy name for Plastic.

What color is your Z? I have a PPW EOM bumper with a Varis duct installed on it. The grill opening has been removed too but if you want to cover the opening I do have the aftermarket grill. $150 if your interested. In Austin.
