    I had the exact thing happen to me.but Im pretty sure i got air born with the front as i am much lower than you. Do not even try re-using the plate. I bent mine back for the time being(because there was no way i was gonna drive without it) but that weekend, due to the plate being compromised , shatered my pan on the freeway while going over a interchange. Good luck withe the rad support repair. I just bent mine back, but it should be replaced.

    Freshly washed, freshly R3V'd **Update post 27**

    I was heading to work this morning at 5am on the interstate. There was a fully intact tractor trailer tire in my lane so I swerved over just to hit another one in another lane. They must've fell off a support truck or something. Anyway, impacted at 75mph. Below is the damage. The skid plate did its job. It looks like the radiator support, skid plate, radiator, and valance are the only casualties. I will pull things apart tomorrow when the shop opens. Any thoughts on bending the rad support back in to position? I know these things are weld on, anyone ever replace one? how hard is it?

    What say you R3V?
