Failing that, a new set I guess would be through Porsche, which I haven't yet inquired but image would be $$$$!!!!

Hi All,
Looking to change out front and rear seat belts to red and can't seem to find a local OZ supplier online. I'm after the complete set and not interested in buying seat belt material off ebay/cutting myself or anything like that.
I tried a search on the forum and the closest I could find was was design911 in the UK and I'd be looking at over 1k just for the fronts!
Any local options anyone has used before? Any recommendations?
Apologies if this has been covered but I couldn't seem to find in search
cheers
I don,t know of any local options ,,,,Suncoast does them and I think they will be just as costly with shipping and exchange ...........

Have for confirmed they can ship to Australia because they technically have explosives in them. I had quite a hard time a few years ago trying to buy a steering wheel because of the same issue.
Yeah it looks like you're right.2005+ the fronts have a pre-tensioner which has a charge that is hooked up to the airbag. Because of this, they wont ship to AUS,
Local option is about $1200 bucks too, so not much different to re-webbing the thread to red or, buy complete new sets from Porsche - even more $$$$
ugh..didnt think it would be this costly and complex
You might get some private sellers trying to get them through airmail but usually that doesn't fly (no pun intended!).
My drivers side belt in my 04' 996 started playing up so I looked into it awhile ago. I ended up just opting for a pair of good used 997 belts in black.
From memory 2002+ have the pre
tensioner, also 996 and 997 coupe belts are backwards and forwards compatible.
What is the local option as in sourcing red belts locally?
Local option was Willshire in SA who mentioned they can re-thread my current belts to red - I'd have to send to them being from Melb which means the car would not have belts in for a couple of weeks (not an option as it's my daily)
Failing that, a new set I guess would be through Porsche, which I haven't yet inquired but image would be $$$$!!!!
