To dye or not to dye, that is the question.
I've read posts from various web boards with conflicting information. So, let's see what you guys have to say. Aaron's Dart Sport has a sun-faded shoulder harness on the passenger side. All the other belts are nice and black.
Plan A ---
I thought about using RIT fabric dye to darken it up a bit. I called RIT's support line and they tell me it won't stay color-fast on seat belts. On another web board, someone said they used it successfully and it does a good job.
Plan B ---
I have a quart of black SEM vinyl dye that I have already used on the armrests. Looks nice. Posts by some board members say they have, others say don't do it.
Plan C ---
I called SSnake-Oyl in Tyler, TX (restores seat belts) to see if they know of a product I could use. Nothing they can recommend (repeat-restores seat belts). They will replace webbing on the one belt for $90-$130, depends on what they think when they look at it.
Plan D ---
Wesco sells new 3-point retracting seat belts for about $70 each (no hardware). Now, if I go this route, I have to, at the very least, replace both belts in front, so they match (what about the center passenger belt).
Plan E ---
Somebody here has a nice black passenger lap/shoulder belt they will sell for a reasonable price.
Any ideas on the above options?
Merry Christmas,
Jerry
