I think that almost all of us got the cargo net with the car -- although considered an accessory, when I was looking, I think every car on the lot came with the cargo net, wheel locks, and floor mats.

I use it all the time. It's great for smaller things that would otherwise roll around the trunk -- you can tuck them under the netting. If its in the way (when you have something larger in the trunk), the net is easy to remove or drop down.

For some pictures, look on the cargo net section of the FAQ.

i personally think it very worth it, i find it very useful, i work with computers, so i tend to be transporting electronic equipment a lot and the net keeps things secure from sliding around. also like someone said, it can easily be removed.

I use mine all the time. I have it configured so it's like a real net that is upright & I can slide things between the net. Like it should be.

the one that came with my '03 CLS isn't as nice as the one in my '98 accord coupe. i'm sure the one from the accord will also work. the trunks are virtually identical.

if you're shopping for one check out the 5th gen accord ('98 - '02) coupe cargo net before you buy one. i'm going to upgrade mine with an accord version as soon as i remember to stop by the honda dealer.

i use the cargo net whenever i haul anything in the trunk.

I got one too.

It really comes in handy when I have things in the trunk. Keeps things from sliding around.

I use the cargo net all the time.
I keep it stretched across the back of the trunk so it’s out of the way if I don’t need it.
When I’m carrying something like a case of beer or grocery bags, I wedge them between the net and the back surface of the trunk.
That keeps things from sliding side-to-side or forward if you brake hard or take a corner too aggressively.

Mine came with the car also. Only time I can remember using it is when I had my Rotora brakes in the trunk and I didnt want them to slide into my subwoofer. I keep it in that pocket on the left of my trunk.

Mine came with it too. But I installed it differently. I like #2 install in the FAQ.

I've had my car for 6 months and never know how to use the cargo net. Now that I've seen pictures, I'll take the time to set it up and I will start using it.

Mine came with the car too. It really helps to keep things from sliding around and falling out of the shopping bags they're supposed to be in.

Shouldn't people be asking if they should put a blower or a turbo, 19's vs 18's, or 15's vs 12's. Seriously, it is a cargo net. Don't lose any sleep over this HUGE decision.

i dont see how a cargo net would be a bad thing... if you dont have one, the nextime you have a loose bottle of vodka rolling back and forth hitting the end of the trunk and the seat, you'll kick yourself in the ass

does anyone else in here get hella annoyed when there is a squeaking, banging or rattling that doesnt belong in the car???

I'm not bitter, I just found it amusing. I apologize. I wish I had a cargo net.

I slung mine like a hammock, kinda like CLean B, but not as open...maybe more like a pouch. Good for bottles and the other shit that slides/flies around the trunk otherwise.

Hey! I didn't know there are many ways to hold the net.
