Default Double cargo nets anyone? {Pics}

I randomly came across a pic of a c5 with double cargo nets last week and the idea intrigued me.

I found/ordered the kit from eBay and installed it tonight. I like the idea of having some of the stuff I normally keep the back in closer reach.

This new net kit attaches via carpet spikes and tension.

I threw a few 2 liter bottles in it to see if there are any issues with the net's ability to hold up.

Here's some pics:

Do you have a link for those cargo net carpet spikes? Can't seem to find those anywhere.

Never thought about having a cargo net right behind the seats, but I guess it could come in handy.

Neat idea! This would be particularly helpful for us convertible owners who's stuff tends to float around in the back there. Thanks.

You can get those cargo nets dime a dozen at Pick n Pull. Including the hooks.
I think the Pontiac Grand Prix (or Grand Am?) uses the identical net.

Last year when I was at our local pick n pull looking for a turning light socket I stumbled across a dozen cars with those nets in the trunk.

I don't even think I paid $5 for the one I bought as a spare, and it was like brand new.
