I have had no success with completely straightening it using my heat gun. It always seems to return to form, more or less. So I have tended to attach it to surfaces in order the straighten it. But I am novice. You'll want more experienced opinion.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
