| ok my frst day on here anbd i'm sounding like a first time owner anyway th8is current integra i have has been in a battle with a light pole on the passenger front corner. not mutch damage but there is a bend in my frame where the front of the frame meets the side its the side thats bent. do you think maybe chaining it to a tree with all the extieror panels removed (bumper fender headlight etc) on the side and backing up gradually increasing pressure will pull it back into place? |

I would have to say "no". bending back out like that would only weaken the frame anyways. You might be able to heat it up, but i wouldn't do someting like that myself. I would take it to a shop. |

I agree with smith, messing with your frame is not something that should be done by anyone asided from the real pros

Unibody frames are not like the old blocks of iron that our parents (Ok, and some of us) played with. If you do this you will greatly increase your chances of injury in an accident. As a dad, I wouldn't put my daughter at any more risk than possible. Try to find a nice stripped Teg at a junkyard and put the stuff out of the one you have in it. It should be reasonably cheap to find a theft recovery.
