Default C6 Front End Damage

2005 C6: I ran over something while parking that when I backed out caught the front right side and pulled the front fascia forward and up. Now the whole right side is sagging. The lower deflector has come loose from where ever it is mounted. The radiator and A/C condenser support are loose. And various tab and slots are disconnected. Also, the corner popped up at the left headlamp assembly. What could have broken that supports the all this? What do I need to look for under the front end? Could this end up being a costly repair?

Radiator support? This is a welded (poorly IMO) roughly 1" square aluminum framework that goes side to side. Check out toward the ends to see if you busted the welds on that side.

^ Agreed...sounds like a broken rad support. #20 on the diagram below (this is a C5 diagram though).
