Custom Seat Belts Installed

HungryM · 08-22-2018, 11:18 PM

We've all seen the solid colored seat belts in Porsches, but I've always thought belts with blue stripes would go great with the polar blue stitching on the M2 seats. I found a guy who could design and print custom seat belts and with the help of my local shop to do the uninstall, I sent my belts off. A month later, they came back with 2 thin stripes down the side and I'm thrilled at how they turned out - I love how they look in my car! What do you guys think?

Looks amazing!

tastefully done, not overkill like the full coloured ones

D22M2 · 08-23-2018, 01:52 AM

I dig it

BSMF87 · 08-23-2018, 02:03 AM

Best I've seen, colored ones are overkill and M stripes ones don't match. If I did a custom one I'd go for one stripe.

So these are the OEM belts with a stripe design printed on? Or dyed into the fabric?

Yup, my OEM belts with a design printed on.

Agreed with all of the comments - I wanted something discreet and almost OEM-looking and a full solid colored belt was just too much.

Wow, very nice touch

iND offers colored belts but it's the whole belt, not striped like yours. Plus it's pretty costly at over $900 USD for the Polar Blue option.

May I ask how much it cost you for the customization? I would consider doing this when I put the car up for winter.

DrKevM5 · 08-26-2018, 12:55 PM

Tasteful touch. Good move

AndrewC1989 · 08-26-2018, 05:08 PM

Wow I love these! Very cool alternative to iND's solid colored belts (for those who want something more subtle) and they look miles better than the tricolored M2C belts IMO

Very Nice, I might have to go with Stripes on both sides of the seat belt kind of like the Mk6 GTI special edition.

jayg80 · 08-31-2018, 01:28 AM

Looks great. How much for customization and how much for labor on the install?

Honda_bar · 09-01-2018, 10:48 AM

Very clean, would probably do if cost wasn't TOO much.

CaptChaos · 09-01-2018, 02:17 PM

Very nice and tastefully done.

Customization was an extra hundy or so over the price of the belts, so it wasn't too bad.

Install was a few hundy, but that will probably depend on the rate your local shop charges. The install does require taking out the back seats so it's not as easy as some of the youtube vids on a M4 make it seem. And something to keep in mind - my shop was ridiculously nice and let me keep my car there while we waited for the belts to arrive (3-4 weeks).
