Well i was driving home when it started hailing and i flew off the road and into the edge of a driveway. I messed up the front subframe and broke my steering column and bent my radiator but drove it home. Radiator doesn't leak though. My dad thinks he can weld it back but when when he parked at Kroger his welder got stolen. BUT on the plus side my G35 wheels came in today thanks to Aristo8 for $400! So is the subframe aluminum? and could you weld it back?? and how much for a new one?

Yeah, def replace it, I wouldn't weld up a subframe and call it repaired b/c god knows if it got bent in the process and those subframes are what your lower suspension bolts up to == whack alignment at the very least. as for the subframe material though, iirc, there's an aluminum subframe and a steel one. Just take a magnet to it and see if it sticks or not.
