Recently, messing around off round I smashed in the front cross member that's welded to the frame in the front and hidden by that pos plastic air dam which also got ripped off. I was gna try to pull it straighter somehow or get it cut off and replaced . Should I prioritize this or screw it bc it still drives straight and doesn't seem like it affected anything, in fact I believe it saved my electronic discos from a beating.

Not sure if this will help your decision, but since I run an EVO mfg 1/4 pounder front bumper, it's a requirement to remove that crossmember for the install. It is completely eliminated on the EVO and other bumpers like the Poison Spyder Customs BFH. So it's up to you, leave it or cut it away
