Default Cargo net mod





I was one of the unfortunate that did not have a cargo net. Like many I have crap that I need to stay in the trunk. Namely, two round objects that like to roll around and hit every-damn-thing. My umbrella and my absorber.

Now a cargo net isn't a mod, but it's one of those things you just can't really live without. Plus, I dare say it makes the trunk look nicer having it there.

I figured I'd ask how many use their net and how many don't. For people who don't, do you realize how freaking useful this thing is??? LOL.

My net is here and installed. I friggin love it. I have $5000.00 out of pocket this month for a body kit and wheels, and I dare say I got the same joy from installing this stupid net so I don't have to hear "thump" when I go around every corner. It's the little things, right?

Hell I should have just bought the net to begin with. Hop out at the next meet....... "check out this guy's wheels!!" "Oh yeah, well look at this net!"

No seriously, it is a must have, great for small plastic bags, I have had others who have "net envy" comment on mine.

Nice job! Awhile back I neatly folded mine up into a small square and put it far back right by the backseat hole opening so you can't see it, but it's still back there if I really need it. I have a clean and empty trunk, and it looks slick...

You of all people should know I owned a chain of car audio stores. I'm also MECP Masters certified (didn't renew it when I closed my stores though). I build anything.......
