Only problem with that, there are no Dark Saddle seatbelts. 2 points, but no 3 points belts were in Dark Saddle, only light Saddle. I guess that’s what I was trying to say earlier. I kind of assumed that’s where you were leaning to, is Saddle Tan, but there is no Dark Saddle that are 3 points. Only other option, Mahogany belts. They are what some people call brown/bronze. I had this discussion with someone else not long ago. They insisted on having Dark Saddle seatbelts. You can’t make something exist, when it doesn’t. Maybe if you go with aftermarket belts, which are junk BTW.
That’s why I did those belts for the one guy, like the picture above. Plastic is not too hard to change colors on, but that’s not the case when it comes to the webbing. So here is a picture reference of what the Mahogany looks like. A lot depends on the color of your seat also. I’m not sure if you had stated that already, I may have missed that.

That a dilemma. Gess I'm going with light saddle then lol. Along with the seat. Think I'm still going to do the dark saddle door panels.

Finally got my seat belts. There more of a brown then tan but they still look good. They are a older style so I did have to drill a 1/2 hole in the b piller to install the reactor. Also gained the center seat belt. I just tucked it behide the seat.
