Title: Picture of 69 seat belts, standard vs deluxe?
Post by: X33RS on March 05, 2016, 07:46:56 PM: Anyone have a good picture showing the differences? Maybe it's on the site somewhere and I overlooked it?
Thanks

My shoulder belts turned sort of a "copper" color, but one of my lap belts just turned a silver-grey in an area about 6". I've considered using a sharpie in a small area and see what it looks like after some time passes

BUT if you still have the label on or the clear rubber wear protector on the tongue, both of those will come out the color of the dye too! I remove everything from the webbing, clean WELL before dying then re-assemble. Lots of work, but they look nice!
