what is this part?
 

the inner metal the fender bolts on to? its pushing my intake over a few inches and i cant bolt on the front of the fender. how can i go about fixing or replacing this?

realize i put this in the wrong category sorry.

The bent part you are looking at, is not bolted in, it has been welded in at the factory.

A body shop could make short work of that repair or you could repair it yourself with some decent tools and patients

thanks for the reply!
