Radiator Support

[DSMxJB]

Okay so I hope this goes here. My car has had a salvage title since I bought it and the only thing that seems like it hasn't been repaired is the radiator support. It's twisted all across the top and it makes my headlights sit weird. My lights also point up I can't really see without my fogs on. I would like to fix this. Im planning on ordering a fmic soon so I want to fix this at the same time. I have a few pictures and I was wondering do I need to order the entire support? Or can I just order the top piece? The cheapest I can find the whole support is $230 shipped and I can't seem to find it in pieces. Also the black piece around my hood latch looks bent idk what it is called. Any help would be appreciated.

someone cut the support bar for the hood latch. Had the same problem. Had a talon donate me a new one. Dont just cut the bar for your front mount figure out a way to resecure it out of the way self drilling sheet metal screws can work wonders. Heat and bend as needed

Ah okay. So I'm either going to have to find one at a junkyard or pay $230 for one I guess. Well I'm getting a Vrsf front mount. I've read that I may have to do some minor cutting which I don't mind. I figured I would change the support at the same time since I'm going to have the front end apart.
