Default Front Bumper and Insurance Question

I just recently got in a crash (if you read my last post)
and I need a new bumper ...and most likely hood

I really want the kaminari front

I was thinking can you get insurance to pay for how much the bumper would usually cost then pay the difference for the aftermarket one?
I am not really sure how insurance works on these matters but my friend did that to his car...I am not sure if that is considered fraud or not since he payed the difference and all.

I was hearing it might be because of the certain shop you go they might be chill enough to help you out?

Any intel would be nice.

Usually what happens is...

You will go get a few estimates for what it would cost to fix it back to normal. Then you give those estimates to your insurance company and they write you a check. What you do with the check is up to you.

Thats how my insurance works.

Does the Kaminari front come with all the essentials?
