My new Festy failed the Virginia state inpsection because the front seat belts are frayed (give me a break). Anyways, I don't know how Aspire front seat belts are or work, but will they work in a Festiva? I'm talking about the automatic should belts since mine is a 91. Also what year did they start using them in Festivas? Thanks!

I believe the auto belts started in 1990.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

Get a roll cage installed and a 5 point racing belt. Then give the inspector the finger as he signs off on your new safety upgrade.
haha that's what I want to do with mine.

Can you not just bolt or adapt some sort of home-sewn or otherwise usable belts to the floor and door pillar (that will connect to the mid floor ends) and call it a day? Otherwise I'd argue that manufacturers have to provide/supply replacements into perpetuity only because they are entirely cosmetic and don't make their cars run any better or last longer.
Personally I have no use for mandatory belts anyways. It should be entirely my decision whether I choose to wear belts or not and not the gov't.
John Stuart Mill had a profound influence on the shaping and evolution of British laws 200 years ago and here is his advice on one of them:
"The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not a sufficient warrant."Comment

If I would have known it was going to be a problem, I would have taken them out and just had my lap belts which aren't frayed. I might end up doing that anyways.93 GLComment
