2006 Accord Hit from side, Frame straightening options
Long story short I got T-boned lightly (5-10 mph) on the passenger fender. No airbags but it was enough to destroy the headlight and fender and knock off the alignment.
Got the alignment done, car goes straight except for the camber being slightly off.
New fender bolted on fine except for a few holes that stripped. Pending a drill and tap.
Headlight mounted on fine except the top screw does not line up with the rad support. It's about half the screw thread width off.
Hood closes except the passenger front and driver rear corners rub. Subsequently the opposite 2 corners have excessive spacing.
What are my options to straighten the radiator support? I took it to a few places and they all don't want to touch the car because "they have more important things to do" (So I'm assuming insurance work). I'm assuming that since it's bent so slightly a quick pull should straighten everything out.
