Default Cargo Shade & Net

Purchased a '04 CE last month. The cargo shade and net weren't with the car. Any opinions on whether to purchase stock ones or after market? The targa cover was also missing. Do you guys use them? Thanks in advance for any advice! Best regards, Don

Try the C5 parts for sale section of this forum. I got my net there for a reasonable price.

Make sure you check the rear storage compartments real well. I was going to buy the cargo shade when i found it in the compartment with the net in it's original bag. I use the shade all the time, but almost never use the net.

Mine was the same - still sealed in the bag in the right rear compartment. Plus there was a tiny bag in there with the two upper hooks inside. Good job I didn't throw the big bag out! It was days later when I started searching for the upper hooks.

Make sure you get a net sized for a coupe. The nets for a Z and vert are shorter.

The cargo net and shade come in handy - I'd get one if you can find a good deal. The targa does not come with a cover so you're not missing anything there. There are aftermarket ones available though.

I always keep the cargo net in place in case i stop at the grocery and pick up a few things the cargo cover i have only used once and then took it off because with it on you would not be able to see the cargo mat with the vette logo on it.
