Default Is it difficult to install colored seat belts?

Thinking about buying yellow seat belts. Where would everyone recommend buying these and how much is it to install?

Is it a DIY? Thanks guys.

Suncoast has them for$799.00

Color seat belts

Not especially difficult, just tedious, very tight torx bolts holding them in place (the originals) with body panel removal in tight places.
I'll see if I can find the removal/install instructions in my files.

toughest part is to remove the interior panels which often means broken tabs that hold the panel. rears are pretty easy and fronts are a little harder. renntech.org has DIY instructions.

It's probably not that hard but are you really sure you want to go with yellow? They will show dirt in no time (not like you're not absolutely clean when you get in your car) and have to be the hardest to maintain of all the belt colors.

You know I worried about that, but after 14 months they're still perfectly clean - zero grime.
