I say trash the whole front end and rebuild it all using OEM parts!

Looks like you ran over a bolder to do all that damage or a very weird huge pot hole. I think the core support wasn't by you by the breaking of the splitter might have been. Looks like the splitter wasn't just supported by the core support, it also looks to be supported by the frame rails which is okay. Other then the that, replace core support, radiator, and AC condenser and go have fun driving your new car. If you don't plan on running a splitter or blocking that area off I would get the factory shroud for the radiator.

Instead of completely replacing it would I be fine pulling it back out with a come along? I already have a dual core rad with aluminum fan shroud on it's way and I deleted the A/C (But it's still able to be put back in.) and the new belt came today. I do plan on building it as I go. I may get another splitter in the future but nothing like the one that was on it.

I mean you could maybe pull it out but this honestly looks bent in to many places to be fully pulled out correctly. I would just replace it or make a new one.

I agree. It'll be difficult to get the alignment correct, after bending the damaged part. Replacement is the simplest and prolly best long-term solution.

Good luck!

UPDATE, I tried bending it back to form with no luck, it's too bent for the radiator to sit in properly. Going to be ordering the rad support and buying a cheap welder tonight. What's the cheapest you guys have found to supports for? I managed to find one for $131 with free shipping.
