Default front end damage please help

Hello all. I recently wrecked my 95 accord EX. The damage isnt too bad. I just wanna know if I can bend the core support back into place because it wasnt moved that much. I also want to know what the black piece of hard plastic behind the bumper is called. Thank you for any help

the black piece is proll a bumper support...and the core support you could try bending back into place but you might need a new one if you want it to look as good as it used to.

yeah, i would get a whole new core support from the junkyard, because when you bend metal back it looses its structural integrity. honda core supports are pretty weak and not that expensive. it will have to be welded and bolted in so make sure you know someone who can weld if you can't. your core support not only supports your radiator but it determines the alignment of your hood, your bumper, your headlights, and your grill.
