Sailboat supply stores usually stock webbing.

Thank you for this! One of my frustrations is in having to order webbing online and see what arrives. The specs provided online are never enough to judge the material, especially its thickness, feel, and exact color.

I used to use Sailrite BITD when I sailed. It's still around and they ship. Also check out their tubular webbing.

Installation is easy, especially if you do NOT remove the door card; just disconnect the release cable and let the card hang off as it's designed to do. I also learned that it's very much worthwhile to make the holes in your new straps large enough. I struggled pushing screws through too-small holes in what is an amazingly tough strap. Large holes are ok because clamps hold the straps very securely. A soldering iron might work better than a drill. A hole punch would be best.

I love my first version, though I may try some other looks.

What I like is not only the look, but also the feel of my new straps. Very soft and smooth on the skin. I don't care much for the rough feel of the stock straps. That's why I rejected the KaizenKups straps, which are even harsher-feeling.

I have lots of colors and a couple different textures of strap material. I'll gladly cut and send straps to anyone interested.

My strapping collection.

Ones on the left have a sheen and feel soft, like seatbelt material. they are thin, and likely would do well if doubled and sewn.

Those on the right feel much like stock, but are a little thinner. They would work very well in a single thickness.

In the middle is my tie-dye, which works very well in single thickness, and has a lovely feel.

As for matching seatbelts, I'm talking to Safety Restore about getting some tie-dye seatbelt material custom made. It may be cost prohibitive for me alone, but will see. They might need to do 1000 feet minimum.

As for the other colors, Safety Restore can match most if not all of them; they have an extensive collection of colors far beyond what's on their website.

And, if you're thinking excitedly about the possibilities, there are more! Search for jacquard patterns and find stuff like these:

And, there is always fabric paint and stencils to think about. Maybe PORSCHE logotype straps, or your name(s) on your straps.

Since you were able to Dye it I'm guessing the strap material is cotton?
