Default radiator support is bent !

okay so i was letting my GF drive my crx (1990 si) and she ended up hitting a light pole barely at like 15 mph but it pushed in the radiator support and now the bar underneath where the mounting brakets for the radiator are.... well the 2 bolts holding it up onto the frame (passenger side) they both came off and so now its being only held up by the drivers side 2 bolts? it barely tweeked my frame right underneath the headlight where it sets on! anyways i just bought a new radiator support from honda (hook up price) and was wondering whats the avarage price if i take it into a shop for them too put on the support and slightly tweek the frame like .5 of an inch?

Whats the avarage price on fixing this? I really wanna save this crx i love it soooo much it is my first car ..

So how much will a body shop charge me? LMK

Why don't you take it to a body shop . Then you can get estimates and choose the one that is cheapest. It probably isn't going to be cheap unless you know somebody though.

I bent the support on my car also. I bent the part that is welded on the front, not just the T. I drilled a clean one off a donor car and welded it on the front of my car.

Get some spot weld cutters and have at it....

well.. i knew what your problem was after you wrote you let your gf drive your car.. dont let her drive it!

if its not bet too bad.. take a chain rap it around the support, connect the chain to something very solid. now put the car in neutrel push it farward a bit and then push it forward kinda hard.. should bent everything back the way it should be. unless you cant do this because your support wont hold on.. then myabe drill new holes.. other then that i dont know what to say.
