Anyone Tried a CG Lock
CG-Lock Performance Add-on for your Seat belt
Looks like a pretty good idea for an occasional weekend warrior Auto-Xer like myself.
Anyone tried one?

Scoot the chair back 2 notches from normal, pull really hard on the seatbelt so it locks (it should only move an inch or two) and then scoot the chair forward. It's like being held down by a harness.
Ghetto but it works.

Depends what year your car is. I used a schroth quick fit. Its one of the coolest harnesses in the world. Makes driving fast way easier.
I have an 06, quick fit doesn't fit my front seat belt receptacles. People said you can dremel them. I simply took off the front buckle and replaced it with one from an 06 seatbelt OEM.

I did this while autocrossing, its the safety feature in case you fly forward.

The CG lock works pretty well in keeping your pelvis area planted. I use it on my daily as I drive everywhere, it works well for what it is. I recommend it if you are not going a full harness set up. It just makes the seat belt a little heavier to fully retract on its own, so you have to feed it a little, because you dont want it stuck hanging low and closing your door on it.

Seen some reviews of people using this with good results.
Graco Seatbelt Locking Clip:Amazon:Baby
I'm thinking if you get a second and install it at the upper seat belt anchor you can lock the chest portion of the belt as well.

I've asked the same OP question before and the responses were:
- it works great... best way to tighten up the belt
- for event use only... someone used it long term and the rasp of the belt holder started causing noticeable wear (fraying) of the nylon belt
Alternative solutions:
- child lock clip (see above)
- push seat back a few notches farther than your ideal position, fasten seat belt, yank belt to "lock" it, push seat forward to ideal position. (this doesn't work if your ideal position is already all the way back)
