Default Seatbelt removal, anyone have experience?

I am looking to swap out my black seatbelt webbing for red. Has anyone done this? I have not been able to find much information on removing the interior trim to access the mechanisms, but I am particularly interested in learning how to remove/replace the rear center seat one that is integrated into the seat itself. Any advise is very much appreciated.

Nobody eh? Bummer.
Well, if anyone does get the desire to do a seatbelt color change, I found some parts diagrams that give an indication of where all the screws and clips for the interior trim are located.

Unfortunately the backseat diagram doesn't really show how to access the seatbelt assembly.

Front seat one is better.

I'll try to post up a description and photos when I do this in a couple of weeks.

I'm doing this as we speak... Your diagrams have helped a lot!

Do you remember the size of the star (12 point) bolts?

If you are referring to the ones that hold the backseat brackets to the car floor, they are T50. Just be really careful. Who ever tightened the bolts on my car must have been on steroids. I ended up stripping one of them trying to get it loose and had to drill it out.

I'm talking about the (12 point/triple square) bolts that hold the seat belt assembly to the (front) pillars.

I don't remember the size, but I remember how freaking hard it was to access the lower bolts along the floor. There is a write up I reference in this post:

If you don't have a set of triple square sockets, these are the ones I got specifically for this job and they were fine.

Oh yes! The lower bolts underneath the carpet are a pain, they made me quit and go to bed last night. Will read your write up.

I bought some triple squares from a local auto parts store but will invest in something better quality, thanks for the link!
