992 seatbelt color change

[BigBang7one8]

Miami Blue belts were not an option for the 992, nor is it available as an after for that color. Called Suncoast, they don’t know or won’t say the Miami Blue belts for the 718 will fit. Maybe because the 718 belts are less expensive? I’m just speculating.

I don't know, but it does make sense they'd be different parts. The 718 is a 991 generation car in most ways. Whether you could make them fit, I don't know, but they look to be different part numbers -- which could affect warranty, insurance, etc. If Porsche just didn't do them in that color for the 992, then I'd think the best option is to have belt material replaced on the original harsdware. Of maybe get a 992 set in Chalk and have them dyed to match Miami Blue, if that's possible?

Here's another service that claims to do custom colors on request...

Welcome to Carpokes!

I cannot answer the question regarding whether or not 718 belts will fit a 992 but there are companies that will re-web belts in a variety of colors. I know nothing about the company that I linked below but they look legit and offer 50 different colors. Just a guess, but I would think it might be more cost effective to re-web rather than buy a new set from Porsche.

Also, @JodehFoster mentioned that he was getting his belts re-webbed back in January, so possibly he can address his re-webbing experience. His comment was on the first page of the thread 'What Did You Do to Make Your 718 Unique' here: viewtopic.php?t=1388&hilit=seatbelts

Thanks for the info. I ordered a couple of sample swatches. I may go with the black with silver edges as that is the closest to my exterior color (Chalk). Now if only I could find espresso (interior) with the silver edging.

Apologies I didn’t see this sooner…

The above mentioned sites are pretty popular with rewebbing services, I used https://www.myairbags.com/product/webbi ... lt-sample/

They have a large selection of solid colors as well as patterns. The webbing is made in the USA. I called them for my samples, shipping calculated through the website is a bit “off”.

I’m very pleased with the craftsmanship and they get a lot of attention. The Porsche dealership I use for maintenance even asked for their info…mgmt and personnel went nuts over them.

Personally I wouldn’t be comfortable swapping with another model. I’m more concerned with the compatibility of the airbag/safety system. These were easy enough to remove/install myself, I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again. For less than $300, including shipping both ways, it beats factory pricing and dealer labor and I keep my original pretentioners.
