Did you dye the belts or get replacements? (sorry if it was covered earlier, I read WAY too many threads)

I dyed them. Redyed the already black lap belts with RIT dye from Walmart. The blue shoulder belts didn't take the black so I ended up using SEM spray dye on them. They're a tad stiff, but not unbearable.

Last of my parts should be here this week, fingers crossed. So I can start assembling next week, and hopefully install that weekend. I was waiting to order halos until they had another sale, and on Labor Day I could get 15% off on them so I went ahead and ordered.

Got the afternoon off today and started working on the new headlights.
Mocked up after trimming the shrouds

Now I'm waiting for the paint to dry
