These are a dark charcoal color. They are a 3 point harness type belt. You mount the retractor to the floor and when you hit a certain angle or stop suddenly it locks up like a regular seat belt. But you are free to move when they aren't retracted. Sort of the best of a harness and regular shoulder belt. I bought them for a project that never happened. They were used for one race by a local guy in his Corvette which is who I bought them from. $140 for the pair shipped in the U.S.
