Red Seat Belt receivers

Hello, I have an 86 firebird with a red interior. Both the plastic sleeves in the front, (passenger and drivers side), and the plastic on the buckle are broken, I would like to replace them both. I can find some red sleeves online but can't find any red receiver buckles. Does anyone know where I can find them?

Thanks

I did too, but Flame Red is 1990-92 only. Earlier cars have a much darker shade of Red, and I don't know of anyone currently making new ones in that shade. I can't recommend buying a different color and dyeing them either -- I tried that at first with some Light Gray ones before they started reproducing the Flame Red, prepped them and used adhesion promoter and everything, but the dye would come right off any time the seat or seatbelt is moved or tilted in any way. Had to re-dye them every couple months to keep them from looking terrible.

Best bet is to just keep looking on eBay and hoping some decent used ones come up.

I know they make a plastic Paint in the darker red. I had to redo a glove box in my S10 (89) and it was spot on for a match..and worked Fantastic..
