Hey man unless you are a panel beater(aka BODY MAN) I would not try to pull that rad support back out. Take it to a pro and let them throw it up on the rack(frame machine) and get it back to perfect. It will cost a few more bucks to do it that way, but its the only way I would go. I am a painter and have worked in the body shop field forever, and even though its only a small repair you want to do it right. You are going to have to have your new parts painted anyhoo, so go ahead and let them straighten your rad support so everything lines up and fits properly. Good luck bro.

on those cf hoods you might want to look into because some of them actually weigh more than
the stock hood...and just cost plain old more...id go stock with 9 bumper stock hood...but damn a evo not being able to outstop a s-10..in Consumer reports the evo was like 3rd fastest stoping car in mass production vech catagory...lol

Then you are going to have cut off your old one then weld on the new one, but I do not think yours is bent too badly that it can not be repaired. Its only pushed in a few inches, it can and will be straightend.
