Default Radiator Support

Hit a pretty large chunk of ice on the road a few days ago; Lexus dealership nearby got me in and into a loaner so I could make sure the car is not disabled/broken. Turns out the core radiator support is bent/broken, they didn't give me much more information. The lower engine shield plastics were a little mangled and I wanted to make sure I didn't hit any critical things causing leaks or loss of ability (parking brake, muffler etc).

I'll have to take a look at it myself and determine if I need to swap it, but from what I'm reading - they're welded in and not really user serviceable anymore (by someone with normal tools). Any thoughts on a go/no go? I will post up a pic or two once I get underneath it.

Well, pulling into the garage last night - light cut off points are out of whack. I'll be scheduling a visit to the body shop to get this fixed by insurance.
