i just bought the fujimi toyota celsior kit today. these cars are so pimp, i had to get it. i plan to slam it and get some huge wheels for it. the kit looks good, but the body is a bit warped; the roof leans to one side. does anyone know how easily straighten warped parts? ill try gently heating it and adjusting it. also, ill try to get pics soon.

it was the last one and on special. thats why i bought it. im hoping i can just fix it. i can bend it back to its proper position, but it just doesnt stay there, thats why i think i need to heat it.

yeah, sounds like the way to go, does a hairdryer do the same kid of thing?

I'd use the hairdryer before the lighter for sure! be gentle with it or it will be a lot worse than warped!!
