Default Colored Seatbelts

Has anyone tried replacing the OEM seatbelts on their RCF? I am looking to switch my front two seatbelts to match the navy blue stitching in the car. I asked around a couple of shops and they said its difficult to do so on these new cars because of all the sensors. Just curious to see if anyone here has replaced them or knows how to without screwing up the sensors. Pictures of the seatbelts would be appreciated as well if anyone has done this before.

How about getting an auto upholstery shop to do an "overlay" fabric of your choice over the OEM seatbelts?

Wow. And I thought I was one meticulous Marine too!
IMHO - I wish they used Red Stitching in the Circuit Red Interiors. Used it on Elvin Wong Wheel, but never thought much about changing out entire Seat Belt Assembly due to this. Only thing I added was this....

Personally, I think that would be a little much but would like to see and I know others would probably like it.

Slightly different note but same topic, I was at the dealership getting an oil change yesterday and they had an LC F-Sport with circuit red interior and on the upper shoulder bolsters, it was black and I thought it really accented the red seats with the black interior. I also thought it looked really good with the black seat-belts.

Not suggesting anyone do this to their seat, just suggestion to take a look.

I would love a red..or at least a Red stitching on my Circuit Red...Honestly, the red seats really scream for Red seatbelts...If this company does what it advertises
Just do the Front seats for a few hundred bucks and your done

Interesting. Would really love to see a Member here who has these post up some photos of them????
Matching the Circuit Red is no small feat to do. Wonder if theyd send out some swatches to confirm - think I'll ask them.
Just what I need, different colored seat belts-lol- just like when my wife asked me "What was wrong with the Lexus Steering Wheel?" when I received the box from Elvin Wong. (An awesome sight that is within the car too!) I have yet to read one negative review on his Wheels.

A friend of mine removed his stock seat belts and used the upper slots on the seat to add those 3 or 4 point racing harness which looks awesome. It takes awhile to figure them out.
