Saw this today and looks interesting! Extra grip to the chair would be nice without having to install a true harness, keeping the stock look.

Yes, fairly popular with autocrossers here in Ontario and well worth the expense.

If you're using it for autocross there's an easy trick.

Recline your seat, pull the belt so it locks and then return the seat to your driving position while the belt is locked.

I wouldn't do it daily but if you occasionally want the extra restraint without having to replace the OEM buckle it works pretty well.

Thats what I do aswell.
Works ok, but next year i will install a harness instead.

The CG Lock actually attaches next to the OEM buckle, no modifications needed, and is easily added and removed.

+1 CG Lock is awesome. Together with the inflatable side bolsters it definitely helps at the track.
