hood latch + rad support
long story short, my hood is all messed up and it won't close properly. i'm taking it to honda on monday, but i think my rad support is all bent too.
anyone know how much this will run to replace?
i was quoted 121 for the lock itself. the radiator support was quoted to me at ~220 so labors gonna screw me over.
the bracket where the hood thing is attached to is all ****ed up....omg sux0rz

Rep Power: 320 the upper tie bar (radiator core support) is about 170 bucks...the latch should be about 70-100 depending on where u go...i would go with the cheapest shop to get those...labor is gonna screw u over tho...my bro and his vic had the same thing happen when we rear ended a toyota tacoma pre-runner...replacing a core support is gonna be expensive cuz they have to drill off all of the spot welds and such lots of labor when i fixed my friends car

I don't think you need to get a new latch. Some jackass ran into me and screwed up my hood and radiator support... latch was fine, but i have to replace my radiator support. I'm going to drill all the spot welds myself, that's going to be a pain. Screw paying labor charges.

Rep Power: 305 they replaced the radiator support because it was bent. they put the hood latch back where it lined up with the hood. i had bent a support beam and they straightened it out.
the service guy said i could just have the hood latch welded back where it should be, but i don't know anyone that welds, so i just let them do it. the service couldn't do it though, i had to bring it to the body shop.
