Hi guys, i was looking at my car just now and i noticed there's a crack at the front panel of the body frame (the part near those radiators / behind the bumper). There's a crack and i'm worried my whole front part will fall apart.

Could you guys recommend what i should do and any workshop is good in repairing or fixing this.

the fix should cost u around 400-500 bucks
first things , u need to buy a new front frame , prefered evo 123
then u need to bring it to a bodywork shop who is familiar with changing it, it involves welding , etc

bro, last time its happen to me, even worst, not only the front upper panel that in front the radiator, its also crack below front panel that is near to cross member, both already weld back its crack again, so i just get a front panel from empty gsr halfcut from my friend, the only cost is workmanship at body repair shop that is near pandan indah industries area...

If possible please advise ur mechanic or anything that is need to be jack at your front car to be always jack from side of the car or at left or right side of your front car only. Do not jack your car in the front middle. Its a weak spot in the middle.

To save your cost, buy the front panel from any transplant workshop that have the empty body. i do not have the workshop phone number but i still remember where is it.
