Wuzzup Peoples. I need to (well, actually want to) make seat-belt buckles for my Ferrari 360 Spider (and other cars). I don’t have the money to buy photo-etched parts. I’m cheap, any tips or ideas on how to MAKE the buckles? Hep me please![^]
Don’t know for sure about the seat belt buckles except maybe try to form them out of aluminum foil. Something that small might be hard to get looking right. I would think that for the $5 or so that a pe set costs it would be worth it in this case. Plus you get a whole bunch of them. Heres a page that has some nice tips on getting the belts and other stuff looking good though:

Where are they 5 bucks at? My local store has them for $13[xx(]
They have them here but are out of stock right now. http://www.scaledreams.com/DETAIL.HTM look under pe acc.
You might try a google search for the Detail Master set though.
Model Car Garage has a set for $6 here http://www.modelcargarage.com/mcg_display_item.cfm?m=2089
Hope those help you out some.
