What i did to prevent frustration, I just got a whole front rad support. I had a buddy who pretty good at body work and welding so he did my front end first. with rad support and labor it ran me about 150-200 finished and aligned. all depends on how much you buy the rad support for and the person who is installing it.

You'll be way better off with a new one though. Just drill out the old one and bash that shit around until the new one lines up.
