Did your car come with any punctuation marks you could use?
As for the seat belt, mine goes back in only in cold weather, but then comes right back out and stays until I buckle the belt. Yours goes in and stays there?
Search this forum about adding quad exhuast. It's been discssed a lot with lots of pictures. Just know that if yours is a cabrio it will be harder to do.

NO LONGER ACTIVE
If the seatbelt binds in the presenter mechanism, it will retract to avoid damage. It's common for the latch to get caught sideways in the presenter opening and cause this. If that's not the problem, you may have something else in the presenter mechanism causing it to bind.
A common source of oil leaks on your engine are the "cam plugs" on the back of the left (US driver's) side head. If that's where the leak is, those are cheap and easy to replace. If it's the oil pan gasket, you have to lift the engine to remove it - that's quite a task. But I doubt it's the oil pan - that's too low to get oil on the O2 sensors.

Cam plugs are on the back of your heads. It's impossible to see without a mirror, but just run your hand along the back side of the heads or use a paper towel and you'll see if they are leaking. It's a 10 minute job to pop in new ones.

Common oil leak points as the chaps have said are cam blankers. See picture. Some car have a vacuum pump mounted on one side & others an extra blanker. Also the oil level sensor.

There is no way anybody can know the best solution since we can't see the scratches. Nor do we know how many there are or how deep they are. Like any scratches, how deep they are is the key. If they are through the clearcoat, or even real deep into the clear coat, then the only good solution is a total repaint of the at least the affected panels. If a lot of panels are affected, you may need to paint the whole car. If you are real lucky and they are only white scratches on the surface of the clearcoat, they may be able to be buffed out. But if you are hoping for some magic scratch fixer for a keyed car, forget about it. Any attempt to fix a lot of deep scratches with some sort of touch up will look terrible.
