Changing seat belt color & Air Bag module reset

I thought I would pass on some information that I found while looking into changing my seat belt color. The factory red seat belts are limited supply and very expensive. I found this company that will do it for about $80 a belt. I just got a couple of color samples in the mail and going with red. Might be good if you're trying to match some interior accent colors.
I see they also reset airbag modules which could be helpful too.

Just thought I'd pass on the info.

Interested to see how it works out-total cost and time. New belt with retractor runs about $150 ea. (black/Schwarz) and thought about getting them and send the in for red replacement. Checked used ones (auto salvage/parts) and they run more with shipping (figure that one out). Looking for someone closer (shipping time) and there is a company in OK but more expensive. Are you going with red (classic) Flame red or Ferrari red?

I only requested a sample of the classic red & the black w/ red edges. I'm going to request the Ferrari Red and see how that compares. From talking with them, it's a 24 hour turnaround and whatever the shipping ends up being to your location. I'd feel more comfortable sending them my factory assemblies to change versus getting something from a junkyard. At least I know mine work and I wonder if they lubricate them (if applicable), I didn't think to ask.

I'm still a few months away from starting my rebuild, but when I get to the interior, I'll post up some pictures and give feedback on their service.
