Post Seat belt color change retro fit?

Wondering if anyone has tried to have their seat belts changed out for another color? What was involved was it a nightmare?

I ordered my car with 'Seat belts in Yachting blue' to match the dark blue paint but of course they are so dark they pretty much just look like regular black belts so that was $540 well spent.

Never one to stop throwing good money at a problem I don't really have I was wondering if I could retro fit 'Seat belts in Silver Grey'? Well get the dealer to do it at least. Anyone done this?

Suncoast has what you're looking for. Been considering it, but at the price, plus "Professional installation recommended" means I just haven't done it.

I did it with an older Porsche but had my independent service shop to the de install of the old ones and the install of the new ones. I got them from a supplier in California at far less than factory pricing. Can't remember the name though.

That's a nice looking interior. I actually think the blue belts looks nice also.

The stitching looks great.

That's a great looking interior If you decided to switch out your belts to sliver we can get them for you a bit cheaper. Click Here for more information and to give you an idea of what the drivers side and passenger side would cost.

There aren't any photos at that link. When you click the product link on the page it says "No photo available"

Sorry we don't have any photos yet, we are still updating the new stuff. I can guarantee you though, they will be the same ones you would get from the factory if you ordered them (OE).
