Question Coloured seatbelts?

Does anyone know of a place that will make you new seatbelts (while using your own retractor) in the colour of your choice? I've been looking for a while and have yet to find anything. Thanks in advance

Might be easiest to just dye the belt as I doubt you will find a place to make you new ones.

It's actually for one of my other cars and the colour I'm looking for is black. As for dying them, the process apparently weakens the webbing of the belt ... not something you would feel safe doing. BTW, still looking ...

using a RIT dye on the belts shouldnt degrate the material at all since its an organic compound and people use it on delicate materials like silk and cashmere...its not a harsh chemical dye like a hair dye that uses lye and other acidic bases

I also want black seatbelts and im planning on dying them and seeing how that turns out. I doubt you will find somwhere to make you seatbelts in black as they can be held liable if your in an accident and injured because of the seatbelt not working right etc.
