I'd honestly be surprised if that's a separate component you can just replace on its own. I'd think it's part of the whole unibody assembly.

It is a separate part, at least for 03-06 (but would assume 07+ also). I've ordered it before, and installed it. While the original is spot-welded on, I secured mine via body panel adhesive (since I had 0 experience welding at the time). Unfortunately, I have forgotten what it was called but I got it from a dealer in 2016. Probably headlight support or something like that.

Edit: here's when I did that: My 3D-printed Lip Kit.
Are you talking about this part?

Edit: that’s not for the same year, but you should be able to use it as a reference
Depending on why you want it, I have straightened those out with C-clamps, rope, comealong and a tree. It is hidden, so close is good enough for me.
Well there you go. Color me surprised, lol.

And yeah like Charlie said it's not a critical support structure other than to hang the headlight and fender on, so you may be able to make it work.

Yeah that's kinda what it's looking like. Maybe I'll try and see if it even comes off...

Nice, yea 03 to 07 should be the the same part

Fair, yeah mine is just a little bent and warped, so it seats my hood a little higher, I just figured replacing the part would look better

For all the welds to drill out to remove the bent part, then weld/bolt in a new part AND get better alignment is a lot of work. I believe the rubber bumpers either on the hood or the bent part can screw in/out to adjust hood height when closed.

Yeah if it’s just a little messed up it might be cheaper to fix it or get a used replacement in better shape.

Who knows if you can order a OEM one anymore. Maybe there are aftermarket ones. But the price of that thing is up there.
