Front Bumper
 

Can a spring steel bumper bracket be bent? My new left side bracket is bent down/in, where it fastens onto the bumper. Can it be slightly bent to straight it out, without braking the tempered steel ?

Yes they can be bent. Usually have to put a lot of heat on them and then bend while really red hot. Since you are putting a lot of heat on it, it is best to do it off the car. I have seen frame horns bent while trying to just bend them on the car without applying heat.
