LOL. I do body work for a living. Needs a frame rail. Don’t dare try to straighten that to save a buck. You’ll literally be ******* the next person who buys it. It’s called a crumple zone for a reason.

You get it from Kia. And there’s a procedure for sectioning. You can’t just cut it out and replace, it needs to be put up on a frame machine, set up and measured, pulled as close to factory specs as possible, then cut out and section the new one in.

Reality is, that thing is totaled. 11 year old Kia... if it’s the other woman’s fault their insurance needs to cover it. No insurance company is going to pay to have two frame rails put in on a 2007. It’s ******.
