I'll bite...

A way to spend 7k...Hmm, let's see...

Get a HT(whether it be the mugen, mugen replica or spoon or the other one that looks like a spoon but has small side windows). Get it molded out out of aluminum or steel. Fit and weld it onto the S. Repaint the S and no more creaks while cornering. You'll also be one of a kind with an actual S2000 coupe...Aside from those Japanese race teams that have already done it.

Seriously though, put that money away for when your S needs new tires, brake pads and/or something breaks(diff, tranny, motor needs to be rebuilt).
