To answer your question - I'm no expert but I believe they should be able to with the right know how. I have a place near me in Sussex that were going to do some work for me on another car which wasn't strictly a production chassis a few years ago.
The jig would be adjusted to suit the vehicle then hydraulic rams used to 'bend' your car back into place.
Hi
The situation with regard to bent NSX's is not good - for a full explanation read my thread caveat emptor - buyer beware in the for sale forum.
The short answer to your question is any jig that has the brackets for the nsx will do. Our problem is that because the car is aluminium most people won't touch it with a barge pole. Aluminium if it is pulled like steel becomes brittle and cracks - these you may not discover until years later. Can I recomend to the club that we put together a list of specialists, the jobs they can do and some indication of labour rates - I think this is going to be a bit more useful than pictures of cars.
