I've done this twice. Here is what you do: Buy a hand winch, like this one. Find a solid tree, drive the car up to the tree. Disconnect the battery (you're dangerously close to the airbag sensor.) Attach the winch to the tree and the bent front bar. Slowly apply tension to bend that sucker back into place.
You're going to have to bend it further than you think because that metal has some spring in it. Also, try to position the winch's hook so you aren't torquing or rotating the bar.
Test to see if the hood latch lines up. Slowly let the tension off the winch cable. Apply more tension if it wasn't enough the first time. As long as your hood latches you've done it right. Reattach the battery and in my case replace the hood!!
The radiator is relatively fragile, so be careful. This also means you can pop the radiator back into it's slot once the front bar is bent back into place.Also leaky radiator fluid kills dogs. Dogs drink it because it's sweet and it poisons them, so be respectful and clean up any leaks.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have questions.
