Default Radiator Support - Fix or Replace?

I was recently in a 20 mph impact with someone who pulled out in front of me. My driver side front corner on the headlight hit their passenger door and after they paid for my replacement parts, I noticed my radiator support is pushed over.







The driver side is bubbled in but doesn't effect much as I bent the headlight back. Can provide more pics if needed.

So.. replace or try to bend/push back?

It looks like your bumper needs to be adjusted. I had to modify the bumper mounts with angle aluminum once because the crappy plastic was broken. I had almost unlimited adjustment and would easily take out that slack.

If you look closely at the middle pic, the driver side headlight has the hood slightly clipping it and covering a sliver of it. My bumper could be off some but something else has to be too with the way the hood lies down.
