Default Seat belts

I want to change the color of my seat belts to red, but I don't know where to start. You guys got any suggestions?

I'm getting these coming up shortly, got them on order, just waiting for the seats to be delivered since they were on backorder from Sparco, but this would be a good reliable one to go with, and YES they do come in red, they're just pictured in Blue (I ordered Red just like what you want). Sparco only makes 6 point belts just FYI, they feel the safety of a 6 point belt was significantly better than a 5 point so they don't make 5 points anymore:

no, five point as in racing harness or the stock style three point.


I believe Corbeau is the only company that sells stock mounting style belts in red andto mount the 5point you need a harness bar to mount the for the shoulder straps, which corbeau and sparco both make.

Unless you are going to race the car, and not just the occasional track run, then you dont need to worry above installing the submarine strap of the 5 pt.

For stock belts you're probably SOL. Modern belts have the pretensioners in them and shouldnt be messed with. Unless some company manufactures them specifically for the car forgot about finding them.

Not necessarily...
Is it the recommended way, YES!

As long as the shoulder strap angle does not exceed a 45 degree angle, it would still be ok. In which case you can pull the back seat and use the seat belt mounts while crossing the shoulder straps as an X mount.

Sparco and Corbaeu are both great options. IMHO, anything beyond 4 point is worthless in a DD or even a weekend warrior setup if matched with a great seat.
