Good to know that you value looks over safety. Be sure to tell any instructor who offers to ride with you that your harnesses are eBay fakes with no certifications at all - I'm sure they'll be chomping at the bit to ride in your car.
They're goddamn seatbelts, dude. You don't buy cheap, fake seatbelts. Get a set of used SFI-rated G-Force camlocks and shelve the JDM "BUT I LIKE GREEN" crap.

Whoops. Sorry, man. I mis-read what you wrote as you not caring about the FIA ratings, only about the harness color.
You should be able to spot fakes by their price and lack of homologation tags. Let me snap photos of my Willans and Schroth tags.

You have the info you need... you're just not listening. There's NO definitive way to tell if they're fakes or not. Anyone going to the trouble to make fake belts could just as easily make fake FIA/SFI tags too.
Bottom Line...
**** THE COLOR BUY GOOD BELTS FROM A KNOWN DEALER IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE. It's really that simple.
P.S. anyone who pays $440 for USED belts need to send me money because they have wayyyyy too much.

Well since it is so important to kill yourself, I found this for you. The first damn picture on google when I searched for "fake takata harness". Looks like the most obvious difference.
PS, good luck being dead.
