Default New Front-end needed

Couldn't avoid hitting a tractor-trailer tread on I-95 in Georgia Friday and tore up the front-end of the Z... incredible amount of damage IMHO... even broke the fiberglass frame that supports fans, radiator etc. Am assuming that insurance will want to put everything back original, but I see this as a possible opportunity to replace frontend with Nismo kit. Anyone have any experience with bodyshops / insurance companies willingness to do this ?
Is the Nismo kit readily available (from ???) and how does the cost compare with the original frontend ? What about the nismo "style" replicas that are available ? Does anyone have any experience with comparing against the genuine part. Your suggestions / experiences needed !
Thanks in advance
George
