So long story short, I hit a deer and bent my radiator mounting bracket, my hood latch bracket, and destroyed my hood pretty good.
Minimal other damage though, which is just luck since I don't have collision.
But I bought this:

I can't, for the life of me, find instruction on installing it. I assume it's fairly self explanatory and I should start by removing the front bumper (which I cracked, but no big deal).
I'm wondering if anyone has done this before and can provide some instruction. I'm sure I can do it, but I'd rather not reinvent the wheel if someone else has experience with this.

If not, I guess I'll take a ton of pictures for anyone else who might be in my situation.

Well, good news and bad news:

Bad: A lot of this actually needs to be welded to the frame

Good: The only damaged part was the tie bar, which can be easily swapped out

Bad: I took off way more than I needed to and didn't keep track of which screw goes where lol

Here's some pics of the install. Notice how I was too lazy to paint it. Yeahhh...

Note: Bumper does not need to come off to replace the tie bar.

I'm going to bed.

I have the same problem but with a little more damage. I also have to replace the vertical part of the bracket on the driver's side.
I was considering buying the OEM exact replacement parts, but there's quite a bit of welding involved.

Now I'm considering buying the same full bracket that you bought. I have everything off (bumper, fender, hood, etc) Is the install easy?
You mention welding, but the description on eBay says it's a bolt-on. Do I have to weld if I'm replacing the entire bracket?

Also, are all holes the same for headlight attachment, etc.?

Thanks for your help
