Default Frame Repair

I bought my bros 94 5sp Integra. He got into a fender bender and
I've replaced the hood and the light. I now need to fix the rad support. Has anyone tried doing this themselves. I figure I can at least try.

Can you buy an aftermarket rad support?
Would a body shop weld a new one or try straigtening it?
What do you recommend?

If damage isn't too bad, try pounding and pulling it with rags, rubber mallet, and crowbar. This sounds best for your situation.

Pro frame straightening is pricey, so that might be second best choice.

If the frame is totaled, then replace it yourself. $160 for support on Ebay, just crowbar the old one off and weld new one on, make sure it lines up straight though or you will have gap issues like I do.

I replaced mine myself. Just drill out the spot welds and pull it off, then weld the new one on like this guy above me said.
