Seat Belt Question

[Yoda's Master]

Is the model year 2013 front seat belts different than the 2012 model year? Can I install a 2013 model seat belt into a 2012 model without throwing a SRS code?

There haven't been any meaningful changes to N/I squib circuits since the early '00's, so if the connectors and mechanicals match it should be fine.

Thanks. I was looking at what it'll cost to covert to a black interior and the 2013 seat belt part numbers had bold letters that said 2013 model only so i was wondering. I need some stimulus money to buy more aero parts..

That may mean there's some subtle mechanical difference. Might want to see if you can find a JY sample to make sure it will fit in the hole.
