Icon2 Bent rad supports?

my buddy has a 92 civic hatch with a ls. he bent the rad supports back to the headers almost and the hood dont line up too good. it has no rust though.. should he think about selling the shell and finding a better one to drop his motor in or try to pull the rad supports back out and try to get it to line up again? thankks.

I've replaced a top radiator support with one from a junk yard on a del sol.
They're tack welded in place and need to be cut out. Most yards will take it out for you.

Just bend it back. You can replace rad supports easier than fixing body rust.
