Default Radiator support help

I want to remove the radiator support on my 91 Si and I heard it was bolted on. Anybody know if this is true? Reason for wanting to replace Radiator support is because it's damaged. ******* that sold me the car never told me and claimed that he thought IT was straight.

Good side

Bad side

It doesn't look horrible. Take a pic. With the hood up, it looks like the damage goes up further, and one of the damage from a diff. Angle, like standing to the drivers side. Just from what I can see it would seem easier to straighten it.

I'll take one tomorrow if it isn't raining.
If I get it straightened won't it cost me more?

If u have to pay someone to do either, it's a toss up. In 3 hours I could straighten or replace it, but I'm spending less straightening it. Like the cost of the core support, and there would be less work involved to straighten. Such as drilling the spot welds, aligning the new core support and all that goes with that ( headlights, hood, etc.).
