850R front bumper covers
Better control arms- I have used them all and get 30000km - car is lowered with Konis so that may be why they get destroyed

Seats. IPD used to carry replacement foam for the 240's. I'd love to do a seat rebuild on my 850, but what comes out of the junkyard isn't much better. Seat skins, too. I'd pay a fair amount for OEM leather seat skins to make the car look fresh again.

And interior plastic, I'll definitely second that. There are a couple of pieces I need that are unobtainable at the moment.

And still the older cars, 240's and older! I know there is competition for shelf space. But I cringe every time I see something being "clearanced" because it doesn't move enough quantity.

You can pay a fair amount and get replacement seat skins. Elwood industries offers nice alternatives, although they are pricey.
