So here is what $1200 seat belts look like. Originally belt from Nanas car in left, restored belt in the middle and unrestored belt on the right. I bought the belts on the right years ago off ebay and planned to use them in my car instead of the standard belts.
![]() As you can see the color of the webbing isn't even close to the original color of the standard belts from my car. After pretty much exhausting all resources to source a more correct color I came to the conclusion that this is probably the best I'm going to get. Disappointing for sure but they do look very good in the car expecially when you don't have the original next to it for comparison. ![]() And here are the tags you pay $20 each for. Nice for sure but not exact to my originals by any means. ![]() Overall happy with the belts and I believe they were the best I could get but I would have loved for the color and tags to be more accurate to originals.

Who did the belts again?
That color looks closer to camel than anything, but still a little light. They could still be dyed, but you would think paying that much they would be dead on. .

Ssnake Oyl did the belts. They sent me samples before they restored them so I knew what I was getting. Got samples from other places with no better results. Thought about having some dyed buy have heard that's not a good way to go and did not find a company I felt comfortable with that would do it anyways.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of dying high traffic areas, tends to wear off and/or bleed. I know dyes have come a long way in the last 5-10 years, but I personally try to avoid it if at all possible.

Especially something that you are going to be strapping across your favorite white tee shirt.
