There is a separate thread discussing seat belt mounts here, so I don't want to get into that.

What I thought would be good to touch on are the various options for harnesses and what peoples experiences/thoughts on them are. Comfort, durability, fade resistance, etc.
In my roadster, I had the Simpson harness from Factory Five. It worked fine and seemed to be of high quality construction, but it did fade a bit over the years and had to be oiled occasionally to avoid locking up (not a big deal unless i forgot for a while).
I'm considering something like these for my 818S (will be used occasionally for HPDE days, but no wheel to wheel racing). Any experiences with red fading to pink? With black, fading to gray isn't such a big deal, but prefer not to end up with pink seat belts after a few years.

From what I can tell, the major brands with reasonably priced options seem to be Simpson, RaceQuip, Crow, and G-Force.
I think I'd ultimately prefer a cam-lock this time around, but am not averse to the standard latch-and-link style.
