Default 991.2 Seatbelt Swap

Hello!
Anyone with a 991.2 swap out their seat belts for a different color yet?
I see the DIY posting on Plenum but am not sure if there are any notable differences with the 991.2 vs .1.
Would love to hear from anyone that has done this swap to determine if it is a PITA or relatively easy.
thanks

My dealer wants about $500 plus 6 hours labour so it totalled about $2000.

Wow, does it take that long to change them? Must be more involved than I would have expected...

$2000 to change seatbelts?

Good god - the price people would pay to get what they want is astonishing.

I assume they have to take apart the inner door and take the seats out.

When my door got hit (or kicked) the labor was something like 10000 and the parts were 4000.

I have the bill - i should post it because it was very surprising.

I have factory platinum belts. Forget the exact price. I'll have to check, but I think the price was closer to $700.
