Default Looking for ballpark cost to pull unibody

Here's the backstory:

https://honda-tech.com/forums/showth...ghlight=Axatax

Replaced ---
Front LCAs and strut forks (tuned out to be bent, replaced with EM1 configuration), front struts/springs, oil pan, both CV axles, both rear upper control arms, driver's side fender and new wheels and tires all around. Alignment is now 100% and car drives as it did before the accident.

The frame is bent slightly, meaning, there is some friction observed when closing the driver's door, and I can see the steering column shroud is canted slightly to the left (higher on the side near the driver's window). No other observable faults and all the mechanical damage has been replaced.

I want to get the frame straightened, but am looking for a rough ballpark figure on what this will cost.

I'm finding information all over the map on this, from "impossible to fix", will cost $10,000+/never drive again (It already does), to "I got my frame straightened for $200" and everything in between.

I understand this is going to need an physical inspection/estimate, but I'm looking for some numbers from someone who has had this done or is in the business. The car is just in too good a shape to trash over what seems like a very minor tweak of the frame.
