my friend got in an accident and his radiator support is all bent up.

i was wondering if the radiator support is welded on or if its bolted on because he was going to try to replace it with a new one.

is it possible to do it himself?

I am pretty sure the CRX radiator support is welded on. My old Integra, a second gen which was based on the fourth gen Civic platform like the second gen CRX, had a welded radiator support. You can tell by looking at it where it meets the body, or even better if you drop the bumper.

If he can weld, yes, he can do it himself. I have seen them cut out and a replacement bolted in instead of welded, but I would not advise it.

just take off the splash shield beneath and look at the support...you can also look at the top of the radiator support...i believe it is also welded on

the bottom portion is welded - the top, which also has the hood latch is bolted in

yeppers, the top has two bolt on peices that hold the radiator down, the bottom is welded and has 2 notches that the radiator sits in.
