I've read that the TSX cargo net is somewhat a pain. Others have bought the net for Nissan 350 that fits right in to the existing hooks in the trunk. Do a search on "cargo net", thread titles only.

I put my rear trunk net in......you only have to drill holes thru the trunk liner....not the car. You bolt the hooks to the frame........it really wasnt hard.....prob like 25 minutes.

Sorry, can't resist... I always get a kick when my wife says "oh, can you put this or that in the rear trunk?"

Then I would go "I wish we have a FRONT trunk hon, that means we probably have a Porsche 911!"

My trunk has 4 built-in "floor" hooks that I have used to attach my net... probably a different net but what the hell, maybe the info on the hooks can apply.

Check out my post and the pix here:

my net came with a paper template of where to make the holes, I used that, marked the spots with a marker, then drilled......it came out fine......your only making holes thru the plastic trunk liner so you could even take a really sharp knife and carve a hole.
