Seat belt color opinions
I'm finally going to upgrade to 3 point seatbelts, but I want to get some opinions on color before I order. My interior color is the stock med blue. I was leaning toward electric blue, as I thought it would go best. However, I'm now thinking the Turqouise might look better. (It's like the turquoise matches the seat better, but the electric blue matches the dash pad better). Thoughts? Thanks!
Electric blue, Turquoise

Re: Seat belt color opinions
I would go electric blue, so that your seat and your seat belts don't clash with everything else in the cab. With electric blue, you would have a cool looking two tone-ish seat/ seat belt combination. That is, unless the electric blue badly clashes with the seats....?

Re: Seat belt color opinions
Thanks for your opinion! I had some time on my hands, so I took a couple of pics of the interior. Any other thoughts?

Re: Seat belt color opinions
I want to do the same thing and was struggling with the same color issue as well.
Where are you getting your new belts. I was looking around over the weekend and, like everything else, they're all over the map price-wise. Not sure what the difference is between products.

Re: Seat belt color opinions
You know, black would look good too....What color is the exterior of your truck?

Re: Seat belt color opinions
The exterior is baby blue. I think I definitely want to stick with some shade of blue.

Re: Seat belt color opinions
Well, if you want to stick with blue, I would choose the same shade of blue as your seat, but in a darker shade. Dirt and stains will not show on darker colors as easily, so a dark shade of blue may work for you.

Re: Seat belt color opinions
Go with the color of blue that is darker than your seats. You don't want turquoise.
