Default Wimpy Z06 post cargo net

Please don't flame me... (and yes I tried the search first) The parts section of the forum has a cargo net for sale. Checked out the rear of my car and it looks like there are the connecting points for one- should one have been include when I bought it new (90 miles)? I know, I know.. weak, very weak, mod... just can't get up the courage yet to start messing with a work of art.

Nope. The Z doesn't get the cargo net or bin covers. I have purchased these items after the fact as I like the bin covers and use the cargo net.

You did get the flat tire repair kit I hope? Sometimes it's missing and the new owner doesn't think to look for it.

Thanks AFVETTE. Yep- got the inflator kit. Guess omitting the cargo net is one more way to cut weight- what, maybe 6 oz? Have a fantastic weekend!

It's not just the net, its the hardware and the cost to install. So when you add that up along with 65% premium on top of pay its more than a few cents.

My 03 had the little black plastic hooks already installed. I just bought a used (read very cheap) net from a CF member (less than $20) and installed it. I keep my Kalifornia Duster and a few other items in it.

If you don't get the bin covers a lot of stuff can fit in the spare tire well and you won't need the net.
