Default I got an idea!!! Anyone tried it>???

K so my seatbealt guides are broken and the seat belt keeps rubbing my neck. My buddy makes Fiberglass Speaker boxes and consoles and doorpods and such. Anyway i was thinkin maybe he could make a new set of bealt guides for me out of fiberglass?? If not i was gonna weld up some and have them coated. but i think the fiberglass would look better. What yall think>?
