no its the actual metal bar that is there. but if i buy a plastic part to replace it would that work?? i think that plastic part attaches to the metal bar. and yes the hood will close but the latch was attached to that bar so the hood wont latch shut unless i replace that bar

mmm, nah, if the oe part is metal, i wouldnt put something plastic in its place, especially if it is some kind of brace. i might go to a local junkyard, and see if they will sell you one, and swap it out...that way, you wont have to wait for it, or get the wrong part by mistake. good luck.

That's the header panel. If it's above that, it's the radiator brace and I believe it's Welded to the car. Below like #4 then it's the impact bar.
Here's the link to pull up diagrams like the one above.
