Ya can't cause since the mid 80s GM has been cheap about it.
Though my 86 only has 3 of them though, my drivers seat buckle is still factory original with the blue sticker GM buckle.
As the law states no parts of a seat belt can wear out, and GM had to put new belts in all cars with those red/blue sticker buckles as with use the color wore off the sticker, which is illegal, no part of a seat belt can wear, even the button sticker.
And since it was a "safety" recall, it didn't matter how old or how many owners it traded hands, GM had and still has to replace them.
So they defaulted to those ugly red button buckles as they don't wear but could of come up with a better design by now.
