^ I'm not sure. But anything over $100 for color change is too much. And from what the guy and my friend told me it's sold by VIN number? Because each year model is programmed different =/

Can it be possible to have sensors in the seat belt itself?

I know they can dye leather when it cracks or fades. Maybe they can dye your seatbelts too. You may also be able to remove some of the staining with a strong stain remover, like that spot stuff you spray on carpet after your dog takes a wizz. Just some ideas.

True dat. You don't even want to try to remove the belt, adjust the return spring, or mess with the assembly in anyway. AMHIK.

wash your jeans in vinegar, it sets the dye.
