    Sarah, I recently got a Ranger Tremor, but you can't get the black appearance package with the tremor. SO I ordered all the badges from the black appearance package separately. I disassembled the fender vent badge my truck came with, and then disassembled the one from the black appearance package, harvested JUST the lettering rom the black appearance package and reassembled my badge with the black lettering instead of the chrome.
    What I'm trying to say is. I get it. Because NO ONE will ever care but me.

      I’d go with the STi trim pieces for your seats… might allow easier access if something falls underneath the seats and you have to reach from the side. My cellphone has slid under the seat in my 2013 Camry SE V6 and it’s super tight going in from the side, so I’d have to ol power the seat forward or back just to gain access.

    if you cant find seatbelts to swap, you can swap just the one part out of the seat belt. All you have to do is remove the tensioner, pull the belt all the way out and it is held in the tensioner by running through the center with a loop and pin. once removed you can swap the just the seatbelt buckle and reassemble. Also you could get a sheet of foam and poke it behind the leather to fill the small gap in the side trim.
