Default Bumper and headlight gap - radiator support?

Bumper and headlight gap is big and front bumper is piped out a little. Looked under the front and the two bars that show from under the bumper are beat up and one weld is broke. Is this the support is it a easy fix or should I take to the body shop and let them replace it

Sounds like the radiator support bracket is broken by your description. If it's not to bad you might be able to get it welded in place.

Ive seen replacement brackets on flea bay for under 300 bucks and from reading threads about it sounds like it's not to difficult to replace. I haven't had to do my yet, just reading about it for when my time comes......
