If you look in the pictures that i have in this thread, you can see that the seat belt release buttons have plenty of clearance, making it just as easy as OEM seats to click or un-click. The shoulder harness also has plenty of clearance to be adjusted up and down. The only thing that is abnormal would be the amount of clearance between the side of the seat and the door. The two do not touch, but there's not enough room to easily fit the "male" seatbelt clip between there. It's really not a big deal and, right now, it helps me hide those gray seatbelts until I can find new black ones.

No problem. Another plus is that the Weapon R brackets are considerably cheaper then the more popular Wedge Engineering brackets. I paid $70 for the pair.

Which color did you guys use when you painted your carpets black? Was it the flat black or was it the gloss black.

I used gloss black on them. It made 0 difference. I also used flat black on other parts of the car. They look exactly the same on carpet.

Cool thanks this thread helped me a bunch my carpet looked like it was toast. I soaped it down with some degreaser and bam looks brand new if I wasn't changing the interior color (blue to black) I wont do anything to it I'm glad I did this.

This was the water after I soaked it

 

[vspectuner]

what cleaners is everyone using to soak the carpet and what the average time to get the carpet dried out after soaking?

I used 500ml of spray and wipe degreaser in a 20 gallon Tupperware tub and used the hottest water from the shower let it soak for 4 hours took it out washed it with the hose then filled up the 20 gallon tub with just hot water let the carpet sit overnight and then took it out and rinsed again it then hung it out on a brick wall for a day it was probably 40 degrees out so it took a while.

All these carpets and interiors look great! I am especially digging the red and black interior because That is what I am going to try and do when the weather warms up a bit here so I can paint outside. Keep up the good work guys.

The new carpet is a thicker pile than stock. Turned out pretty nice.

Ebay

 

[99vipereater]

Good Ol' Ebay. Unfortunately the seller is no longer listed on ebay, but I'm sure that you can find similar ones on there. The seller that I purchased them from was out of Brazil. It's possible that he's going by another ebay name.

You're the first one to notice them... well, you're the first one to mention it at least.

oh yeah I NOTICED them they're awesome love the eclipse symbol

Wow these interiors look nice. Anyone done this with the lighter colored interiors? I have the light tan and really wanna clean it up. I don't want to paint it a different color though, since it matches the interior panels and seats.

And I'd show my carpet but I'm a dood
