Technically you shouldn't alter the factory seat restraints in any way, or you risk losing the protection(*) that the manufacturer built in. Same thing goes for installing infant/toddler/booster seats, which unfortunately TONS of people affix with aftermarket gadgets. Those pads you bought probably were never crash-tested, and do not have to pass any federal safety standards since they are an aftermarket product. That being said, a cloth pad on your shoulder is probably not going to affect the mechanics of your seatbelt in a crash situation... but you never know.

P.*. And they do look wicked-cool too.

aukc what did you do to get the SSEi symbol on the under part fo your hood?
like what paint(if paint ed) and so on....?

and this is what they look like, "installed"
