Smashed bumper. Will insurance pay for my '13-16 conversion?

Edit: just to clarify I'm not expecting insurance to pay for a full conversion. I'm just wondering if they'll be ok with getting me a zenki type front bumper to replace my tore up kouki front bumper.

Sadly, my immaculate condition '18 moonslate gray 86 is no longer immaculate. I ran into a cone lying sideways in the middle of the freeway going 70. There was just enough traffic for me to not notice it until far too late, and due to rainy conditions didn't want to swerve.



Front bumper is toast. The under panel and inner fender liner on the driver's side is completely gone. But if I'm gonna have to replace it anyway, I thought I might as well go for a zenki front bumper conversion.

Would it be possible to do this through insurance? Will it not work because the paint wasn't offered that year, or the part numbers don't match? I know the wiring harness wouldn't match but I could try to find a solution for that on my own. Anyone with knowledge of insurance companies who can shed some light on this?
