Recently got my blobeye sti, I've noticed that this is rusted really bad, think it's the cross member/ radiator support that can be seen through the bottom grill, I've had it in to the garage for further inspection and it's just this part at the front the rest of the car is fine. I've read it's quite common with these cars. Does anyone know if this is a part that can be bought and replaced. Thanks

It's part of the front end slam panel and it's welded in. The panel itself is not too expensive but there's a lot of work involved when replacing it.
