Weird brown seatbelt stems?

abrandonment · 03-26-2024, 05:57 PM

Noticed this... obviously not a big deal but I thought that it looked off given the consideration that was put into the rest of the interior.

Assume everyone has the weird brown seatbelt stem?

Ravenseal · 03-26-2024, 06:02 PM

Mine are black. Maybe you bought a knockoff?

Carefree · 03-26-2024, 06:28 PM

Mine are carbon fiber.

Mine are the same color.

That's actually the color the interior is supposed to be. You should probably fix your interior to match.

Which seats did you both spec your cars with, 'Black with M Color Highlight' or 'Black with Blue contrast stitching'?

I have black with black and blue stitching.

abrandonment · 03-27-2024, 11:56 AM

So other cars are shipping differently?

I think mine is the same color? I've never looked at this before today.

Standard black with blue stitching.

It's just a plastic sleeve over the wires connected to the seat belt. It's really more grey than brown.

When I took a pic of it, it looked brownish on my phone. To my eyes, it looks grey

. Regardless, I had to look for it because I had not noticed it until this thread, nor do I really ever look in that direction when in the car

It caught my eye and the makeup/look of the material made me wonder if it was something that was standardized or if like the tires, there was a lottery of sorts.

Obviously it’s the M Performance seatbelt stem in the optional Fecal Brown Metallic color.
