Guard Red Seatbelts

I was wondering where can I get the best value to get a set of 4 Porsche's Guards Red seatbelts. Down near my house, they qoute me about around $2000.00 not including installation... on the order guide is listed for around $540ish... is this true? TIA

I got mine from Carnewal for $650 for the ronts only. Same price for the rears. Most body shops can do the install for $50-100. Good luck.

If you do the fronts only, completey remove the rear belts. Otherwise, it may look awkward.

Mr GTS;
I agree with removing the rear belts if no one sits back there anyway. I had my rears removed when I switched to red belts and I am a happy camper.
However, just so it does not look to strange and cause problems with law enforrcement - remove the rear seatbacks also and install a OEM rollbar.

Do the rollbar and GT3 seats, very sporty. GT3 seats are a must, they make you feel like you are one with the car. You'll take corners at higher speeds and just feel safer in general.

Take a look below:

Talking Red / Yellow / Blue Belts

I bought mine from Bobby at Foreign Affairs 954-746-0488 x 11 for 600.00 for the fronts only. I have Artic Silver with Metro Blue. Put Blue up front only, rears original belts almost blend into interior color and I keep them behind the rear seats

bobc4s has a good point. With black interior the rear belts would not be too noticable.
