Also, just a few question. When they use a frame straightener, wouldn't the chassis be weakened? You're pulling on all side of the car. Sure, it meets OEM specification of length and height. But it won't be as strong as before when it crashes.. Because there is work done to the frame, wouldn't airbag deployment also be off as the airbags timing would be off.
In addition, the FRS is a unibody car. Once the crumple zone are damaged, they are no longer predictable how they will react during the next crash or accident.
Take a soda can for example, crush it, pull it back. Sure it's the same length and height, but it won't be strong anymore. It'll have ripple.

If I'm correct, the car will NEVER drive the same as before right?
