...If it's a state requirement, check with the state regulating body.

Not 100% sure but think it is a Calif requirement. Even if it is not, belts are something I would want.

You have cosmetic/aesthetic considerations also.

That brings up an aesthetic issue having to do with a color question.. This car is a sedan with an easy convenient pillar location so a 3point belt would be nice on the front. Not an easy install for 3 point on the back seat so will just do lap belts. No problems matching the seat color.

Even with tan piping on the seats, the cars color combination of navy seats and tan pillars matching the headliner brings up a quandary for the front belts. Installing the 3 point belts and going navy to match the seats would mean a dark stripe running up the tan pillars. Using tan belts to blend with the pillar would stand out against the seats. Guess the safest way to avoid the problem is just forget about 3 point and stay lap belt only but am curious what others would do.
