Radiator Support Replacement - Honda Prelude Forum

I have a 1995 Prelude. Ive owned for about a year and a half. I bought the car with front end damage. I replaced the hood. The front radiator support is bent in about .75-1.00" , the previous owner had the latch shimmed out so the hood would still close. The hood sticks out further than it should. Anyways...my question is...Would it be easier/cheaper to have the front end pulled out by a frame shop, OR replace the radiator support. I checked the fenders and what not and everything else is straight except for the rad support. I found a guy locally selling a complete rad support for $25. How hard would this be to replace?

Thanks

I would replace the radiator support. It is spot welded on so you would have to take a grinder and cut all the welds to get the support to come off. Then clamp the new support on and spot weld it.
