How common are the black manual seat belts?

Hey guys since my damn GTU is an S5 I need to get rid of all the stupidity that S5's come with. One major thing is the worthless S5 belts. I can't even corner properly because i'm sliding all over the place. I need to get some manual black seat belts. I seem to recall them having been made for the 10th AE and Canada models. What specific years am I looking for for the canada models? as AE's are rare!

Black manual belts were only found on 89-91 Canadian models, and the 10thAE.

Ok so any S5 from canada right? time to strat looking for some. BTW for those that have had their auto's fixed by the dealer how long did it take? I am planning on having this done in the mean time because they are messed up in the GTU.

BTW, you might be able to order them (black retractors) from Mazda, they are part numbers:

FC33-57-630-00 (Right) and FC33-57690-00 (Left) for the retractor assembly, and the last price I got for them they were only $100 for each side new.

I've got an extra set of black seat belts and accompanying trim from a 10th AE. Don't know if I'll let it go though but yeah, you also need the rest of the trim.

This thread would have done well In the Canadian Forum. Black Interior Is becoming rarer here. We see a number of people coming to the Canadian Classifieds In hopes of picking up A Pilliars and Belts. But the likely hood Is slim...no one I know parts out Black Interior In parts - just In whole.

Just order new the seat belts... I personally have trouble trusting any seat belt that is 15 + years old.
