Plywood sheet + 80mph!!!!

Soooo, coming back home today and along the way run into this scenario:
Following a car as we're both moving right to pass a slow driver on the left (don't get me started) and I see a shattered piece of 2x4 in the right section of the middle lane - no worries, move over slightly to the left of the middle lane and then. . . the car in front of me runs over an unseen piece of plywood, kicks it into the air like a ninja throwing star and WHACK - right into my front bumper. I'll spare all the gory details but a call to the insurance company is going out tomorrow.

Now the part I need your guys help with: should I use this opportunity to do a 63 conversion? The only thing that concerns me is that plastic bumper is definitely going to be replaced but my fog lights, mesh and everything else is ok - that and I just received my Euro bumper strips from James this week. Thoughts?

Don't forget the grille. If a 63 conversion is in the future of the car you might as well do it now. IMO.

What color is your car? I may take the Euro strips from you. I need black.

I was a witness, there were 4 boards that took out the lights, mesh, fogs, and bumper.
