Mugen leather shift knob and Recaro belt guide

A few weeks ago I noticed King Motorsports listing up a new Mugen shift knob. They finally released a leather wrapped knob with red stitching which is exactly what I've been waiting for so I got on the order list and sure enough after making its trek across the ocean, it's finally here.

It's lighter than the metal 6-speed one I had before but it's still got a good weight. It's a bit bigger than the CR shift knob and has a great tactile feel (like you're holding a baseball but not that big). I really like it and after driving with it for a few hours today I'm definitely keeping this.

The other thing that's been annoying me lately is the fact that my seat belt keeps getting lost behind the seat because there's nothing to keep it where it's supposed to be. I found someone on S2ki selling some Recaro seats that had these Jade Recaro leather with red stitching seat belt guides and realized that Evasive Motorsports was selling them so I picked that up too. It's a small detail but makes quite a difference.
