OK guys.... Anyone that is looking to go with red or yellow seat belts stand by for a week. I have found a DIY for swapping out the black webbing for red, yellow or many other colors. I have ordered the webbing and button stops and should have it in a few days. This looks like a 3 on a 10 scale for difficulty. If all works out we should be able to do both front belts for under $100. The webbing is the same auto makers use. Stand by....... I'll start a new thread with my finding and photos.

OK guys, it's been resolved. I talked w/ Jeff (Clark?) at Sunset Porsche today. Great guy. Quoted me $362 for a pair of front red belts. I guess retail is about $500. He is shipping them to me. Respects Rennlist and I'd reco him anytime.
As far as my stealership coordianator he requoted me $130 (from the original $280) to install them. The info that u guys gave me about 2002 and newer cars that have explosives cleared up the situation quickly. I am having the car up there in 2 weeks anyhow for a oil change so i thought i'd have it done at the same time. I am far from a DIY guy and with kids and clients i simply do not have the time to learn....just time to DRIVE !
I think the car is look gonna look great. It's black metallic with black seats. The red belts will really pop nicely (especially against the red calipers). Pics of the car were posted a few days ago on the 993 Turbo forum page. The title is "Pics of '97 Turbo". check it out if u have time
