Let a friend drive my baby, 1995 Accord EX
...and of course he wrecked it.
Not bad, he rear ended a KIA. Messed up my front passenger side lights and pushed in front, about 2".
Good thing I think is, the bumper went under the bumper of the KIA so the bumper is still where it should be, the impact was absorbed by the light and the hood.
I was looking at it closely with the hood up and there is a bar that goes from the top left and right side to the frame holding the radiator. The bar on the left absorbed most of the impact, it's twisted a little, I think if I can unbolt it and put in a new one the that will be most of the repair, except for beating the hood with a mallet or something.
Questing is: what is that bar called if I tried to order one without going to a junk yard and pointing at it?

Thanks, that appears to be it. It looks like that is more than I planned to replace, I think only the top bar is bent but maybe not. Looks like it would not be sold that way unless I went to a pick a part junk yard anyway.
I may try might first idea, attach a chain and hook, tie to a tree and back up.
I'm probably going to need a few beers before I try that, if for no other reason than to have a excuse for why I ripped the car in half, "well , I was having a couple beers and I thought maybe...."
