Default Radiator support question.

Would the inspection person for the track qualify me if my radiator support is bent? I got into an accident and it pushed the radiator support back. I just pulled it back to its original position but its still twisted. I just want to know if ill still be able to track my car in this condition. Thanks.

I don't know how nit-picky the CA tech people are, but the EC tech guys wouldn't look twice at that. My guess is you'll be fine.

I was once cleared for tech with a smashed up hood and radiator support.

They were more concerned with the hood latch.

Once I demonstrated that it locked and was not going to come flying open, I was given a tech sticker

My car is held together with bubblegum and zipties. Ligher than bolts.

My magic 8-ball says you'll be fine.

I think you can still be able to track your car in that kind of condition. Anyway, the radiator support is just bent not cracked or even cut. Some Honda racing parts are just like what you have. I guess you will be fine on that.
