Hi Guys! I'm new to this site my friend referred me to come here to ask about my problem. Well first off i drive a 93-95 Honda Del Sol Si. Couple months ago i rear ended someone while on my way to work because the road was slippery. I wrecked my whole front the bumper, fenders , lights, Hood and my Windshield. My friend said that my radiator support was bent and needed to be replace. My question is how much would it be to replace the radiator support, and what is the cheapest way? I live in the San Francisco bay area, does anyone know a good spot to get this fixed or know a good junk yard. Please help if you know by e-mailing my honda tech acc!!! Thanks in advance

 

if its JUST the radiator support and it's JUST bent, the cheapest way to fix it is to wrap a chain around it and pull it back out. Won't look the best, but it should do. That is unless you really want it fixed fixed... Can't really help ya there.

 

track side repair (cheap/quick/effective/not always pretty) - tie support to tree with chain, back car up till support lines up enough to mount new radiator

done right - drill out spot welds, weld in new support. Not easy or quick, junk yards are going to be almost worthless since the labor to remove the part is going to cost more than the part. (check ebay for new ones)

 

If your fenders and everything are mangled, swap a Civic front end on. One it looks better, IMO, and two it would be cheaper.

 

Check on civic frond end conversions and get like a 99 front end... bout the radiator support as an overhauler replace the damn thing so you avoid huge gaps, the head lights will seat on the right place and your car will look nice again.

 

check into buying a new one and replacing it urself
