Revival of the fittest
I have patiently waited many years to purchase an S2000, finally I had the chance and the one I picked up is a beaut. She is a 2002 supercharged Silverstone with many tasteful upgrades. While it was clear the previous owner of 13 years loved the car, it has fallen into a minor state of neglect. So I am presenting to you the list of things that are needing some love in hopes that you, the all knowing community, can help me find parts for or a solution for.
1. Seats, to replace or reupholster: The lower bolster on both seats is no longer holding its form and the upper driver side bolster is ripped. How much does it cost to reupholster or what are some classy aftermarket options that won't break the bank?
2. Passenger front inner fender well: Cracked from rolling the fenders and occasionally it will rub against the tire. Where can I find a replacement without going to the dealership to pay 896% above cost?
3. Rear bumper: while the bumper is in outstanding condition aside from this, there is a 3" crack by the exhaust. Again, I am looking for a replacement or a classy way to fix it.
4. Invidia Exhaust: I agree it looks sexy and I am sure it does great job of avoiding horsepower losses, it is also incredibly annoying. Additionally I am afraid a cop could hear me from miles away, which takes away from the overall enjoyability of the ride. What are some good options that are throaty yet not excessively loud...like your mom (sorry I had to)
5. Suspension: At 134,000 miles the car has had everything redone at one point, with the exception of the suspension. It feels OK but there is no doubt it could use some new goodies. What are the best options out there for the price? and are there any bushing/bearings that it would be a good idea to replace?
Thank you kindly for all your responses!

Post your questions in the correct spots, and there will be plenty of responses (many members don't even check the intro section).
Congrats on the car!
