FYI, my TPMS sensors are on order.

I want to do that as well - didn't want to spend the $ on the seatbelts though . Looking forward to seeing your gauges.

I'd like to see a picture of them in 10,000 miles. All of the deviated color seat belts I've seen in person have NOT worn well. That's been the only thing stopping me from getting the because when new they look FANTASTIC

WHAAAAAAAAAAAT????? Seriously? What about them doesn't wear well? For $500 +/- those things better be built like stonehenge.

The edges get discolored and slightly frayed. I think that a generous helping of scotch-guard pre-installation would significantly help with the discoloration.

FWIW, most of the ones I've seen were in convertibles, so they also take a beating from the AZ sun.

FWIW, here's a DIY should you want to install them yourself. https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...l#post10578715


I have a coupe and the sun shades go up when I park outside so hopefully they'll stay reasonably nice over time. I really like the matching g-red belt and car... hope the g-red gauge face will do it justice when I install those.

Agreed, I am a sucker for red accents in the interior, especially on a guards red car!

The first time I saw the interior of an RS 4.0 in person, I had to change my pants!
