Radiator Support

[1999silverGSX]

I recently got into an accident. Pretty much need a new hood, new front bumper, new pass side fender, Radiator and radiator support. I have ordered almost all the parts i need but the rad support. Sure partstrain has one but its like $130 for shipping. If anybody knows anyplace in my area ( NJ , PA , DE , MD , ect ) that would sell this piece besides the dealer please let me know. Also if anybody has one forsale PM me.

Before you buy one... Take off your front bumper and headlights and see what your damage is and try to hammer it out. The metal is very soft and you should be able to bang it back into shape.

If some pieces are damaged beyond repair, you can get just the parts that you need instead of getting the entire radiator support.

Here is the breakdown, I just needed the circled part when I had an accident and a shop welded it in for $40. Pic is from ebay.

Where could i find these parts seperatly, all i know of so far is that the top piece is bent down.. Havent had time yet to take off my front bumper and the weather has been bad . I rear-ended a toyota 4runner and went under his rear bumper and smacking his spare tire.

You can hammer the top part out. As for where you can get it - try your local dealer or ebay.

You can either check a junk yard, or go to a body repair shop and ask them. Goodluck finding it.

Call your dealer or body shop and ask them for the parts you need...

I have a quick question... I had found a thread and I thought I was close to an answer but my computer froze... Will a 96 gs spyder radiator support fit my 96 gsx

I'm in the same boat as you, my hood, bumper, radiator, support all damaged. Killer is USAA told me a front bumper cover was 1395? And there was 4200$ in damage "total loss" I'll get it fixed up with upgraded parts for cheaper then that. I would go with junk yard for the parts you need that's what I'm gonna do when I have time and money.

Did you read their posts? It's pretty obvious both are responding to the OP without realizing it's ancient history.
