part circled in red is damaged , from red line going forward towards head light is the part that needs to be replaced.

i have that piece on my old red s14 that is still good undamaged.

my question:

were and how to cut and re install in damaged car? i know the correct way is to drill out spot welds and detach. is that possible with the piece in the pic? or do i have to just chop it and re weld it?

thanks

would depend on the person or shop doing it
but if they're good
it can look oem after grinding and paint
