There is no frame on this car, except for the front subframe, that carries the engine and part of the front suspension. The impact bar is bolted to reinforcments on the unibody. If the bolts are bent, it is a good indication that the unibody has been bent also. At this point a straight impact bar may not fit. If the damage is not noticeable, it is probably best to leave things alone.

Get a alignment. If they come back and say it can't be aligned you will need to get it fixed. If not all is good. These car are not perfect even new. A small teak like i see in the pictures is nothing. There is more variation in manufacturing then i see there.

I looked at your pictures, and see nothing out of the ordinary, except you have nut missing which ties the subframe to the body.
