re-read that random, they already fixed it.

and Doug they needed to weld in a new rad support I do not have the means to weld. and in reality i found all the parts I would need but i would have only pocketed about 500-1k after i got all the ---- together. then I would have had to find the tools to do it with. i dont think the Harbor frieght flux is up to the task either. it was just easier and personaly I could careless if you think im a little less cool for it ::)

In the end I paid a small detucable and got a new car 4 weeks later. got the hook up on some fresh paint on the rockers and wiper arms. also got a sweet grill out of the deal and a spare bumper.

the color mismatch looks bad cause they didnt buff the rest of the car and it needs it bad. once the ass is shined up it will match better but I think a trained eye will still be able to see a difference. Im cool with that, its 10 years old lol. going to talk to them about detailing it today

Na you could have found a shop to weld in the radiator support, picked up some new front end parts from the junkyard, install yourself, and then have a body shop paint it. Trust me I did the same thing.

You need to take it to a good body shop and have them put it on a frame machine BTW. When it was all said and done I ended up with a bent frame that the adjuster couldn't have just seen. Ended up forking over another $480 for that. Luckily I had pocked a nice amount of change anyways so no out of pocket from me.
