You can try ebay for used belts. I could not find new direct replacements. There are several companies that offer aftermarket belts. I got mine from wesco performance.

tx appreciate it, but these won't exactly fit onto the factory set up or am i looking at the wrong ones, the ones i found retract from the floor while the ones i have on my car retract on top of the driver's sholder..

You're right...they don't operate exactly like the stock belts but they will work. Theybolt onto the original mounting points although you have to do some slight mod to the upper mount on the sail panel. I bought the hardware kit with the belts to help with that part. I haven't finished my interior yet so I don't know how the original fairing will fit over the belt at that upper rear mount point. May have to trim and/or modify that panel to make it work and look clean.

I hear that! I have my original seat belts and every time I get in the car I have to finger them to get the thing to release properly. I feel like I violate my poor car... [sm=headbang.gif]

Hey, kerby, what do you have lifting your car? I am looking for something like that to get clearance for my back tires. Sorry, I am very young... actually just very ignorant about these types of things...

looking at the pics of your car it looks like you have deep dish on the rear as well. problem is it looks like you have deep dish on the front and if you jack it up in the back those deep dish wheels on the front will rub.i am running 14s on the front.i think 3 inch backspacing,i had 14s with 2 inch backspacing and wider than i have now and i had to replace them due to rubbing.
