          Probably a bit obvious, but I'd get a new latch for sure.

          My friend was in a front end collision and the body shop bent back the latch instead of replacing it. The hood ended up popping up while doing 50mph.

          His car was at the shop for another 2 weeks.

            Have a pic? depends on how hard a hit. Fenders bend extremely easy, etc etc.

                as far as collision goes, I'd say just leave it up to the experts.

                  Is it possible to change out the whole front end support and not just the radiator core support?

                    The front end support is the radiator core support.

                      What about the section that the headlights and bumper bolt on too can that section be fix/replace?

                        Did you not open the link I posted? They are the same part. It all bolts to the radiator core support.

                          Only the piece across the top of the radiator and down the center in front (to which the latch is mounted) can be unbolted and replaced easily. The rest needs to be cut out and rewelded per wildbill83's link.

                            i have the same problem with mine. the hood now sits on top of the headlights and my bumper is angled down on the passenger side. should i just bend the latch back so my hood will sit like it should or should i order a new one? how would i go about fixing my bumper also?
