unless you have experience I wouldnt mess with it. This will require cutting and welding. Just take it to a body shop

yes, do you have pictures of the damage? If any of whats pictured needs replaced it will require cutting and welding.

It's hard to tell from the pics but it actually doesnt look too bad. The very front upper piece that bumper attatches to is a bolt on piece so that should take care of that and the lower portion is held on by a couple of small welds. I wouldnt buy that whole front peice thats on ebay. You can probably buy what you need specifically from the dealer for less. You'll need the bumper support and you can probably find that used for around 50 bucks and you also may need other small brackets but for the most part its a quick fix.

If you're looking to do some of the work on your own to save money try take everything off thats in the way and drill out those welds and just have a shop weld the peice. You can probably get it done super cheap if you know anyone that has a connection at a body shop.
