The one in my 08' Grand Prix looks exactly like the one in the 01' vette.

mine too, but i'm not so sure it isn't because mine (like yours i believe) is a CE version and there really weren't a lot of "options" you could order above the standard equipment (since it came with just about everything).

I can tell you from experience that while they both had nets (at least as an option), the two nets are NOT the same. If you are looking for a net for a vert make sure it is either out of a vert (and fits) or is ordered new.
The Coupe net comes in a vinyl pouch with the plastic retainers included but the vert net is just loose. The coupe's net is way too big for the vert, the retainers mount in a different location. The coupes top retainers are way out under the quarters and on the vert they are all fastened to the back wall.
Bought two nets, niether fit.

My 2004 vert has the net. I bought the car new.
Funny, because I never use it and it's stowed in the driver's side trunk storage space with some other extra stuff...

Thanks guys...........
I have the original window sticker somewhere, I'll have to check it.
Does anyone have a good source for one if I need to buy it ?
And I need to make sure I have these clips you speak of also.
Thanks,
Mark
