Default How bad is this damage

I am looking at buying a used 99 prelude that struck a deer on the left front corner. It bent up a lot of stuff but the only thing that looks really bad is the bar that goes across the front of the car that both headlights bolt to. Also, I believe the hood latch is attached to this piece along with some other brackets. It looks like part of the frame but I am not sure if it can be removed and replaced. Thanks.

post some pics of the damage. But most cases than not I would say to leave the car and not buy it, do you really want the headache of fixing this thing and then having it ride like poop due to bent frame or other non see-able damage ? .. also consider the title of the car, is it salvaged ?

Well I didn't get a pic of it before I left the girls house. I've actually decided not to bother with this car. It has way more wrong with it than I feel like dealing with it. Thanks for your input.
