99 Radiator Support

Got in a bit of a front end collision wrecked the hood lights and radiator. It bent the housing for the lights and radiator(as it seems to be one piece??) How hard would it be to replace this? with or without welding?

Are ya replacing the hood, lights and rad yourself ?
The rad support can be pulled out if not too bad.
I'm unsure if the front fenders need to be removed to access the rad support ends for replacement.

thanks for the fast response and thats the plan man! Im no mater tech but with a few buddys we can at least knock the bumper hood and lights out. Id like to be able to do it all in the drive way haha but if some welding is needed so be it.

Was the impact straight on .....or off to one side ?
How far was the hood latch pushed back ?

When getting parts, try to get everything ya need at once. All the misc. hardware, headlamp buckets, wiring, latch and etc.

The rad support can be cut and then weld in another if beyond pulling. Everything lines up finally off this support, so be prepared.

Hood latch was pushed pretty far i think thats what punctured the radiator. 15mph tops, and yeah it all seems to just be that bracket thats the most damage so a cut and weld may just be the easiest option.
