Default gauging interest in front seat accessible cargo net

basically i have noticed that i would like to be able to access more stuff in my 350z without worrying about it rolling around in the floor board, or flipping up the passenger seat to get my CD's out. and since ive already filled up all the cubby holes in my Z to my liking, i realized i can do better.

so what i am needing to know is just how many people might be interested in a cargo net that would sit in the part of the trunk closest to the cockpit, and be accessible while sitting in your seat... for the passenger as well as the driver. ive been studying how i want it done, and im bout to order my first batch of material for the initial prototype. but id like to know if i have a market of potential buyers. so let me know what you think!

No thank you, I'm good with keeping my storage contents in the trunk.

You probably won't get anyone signing up for it, but why not give it a shot OP? It might turn out better than what's offered...

the reason i decided i wanted something different is because:
1) once i position my seats, i dont like to move them and i cant really reach behind my passenger seat once its positioned how i normally like it to be.
2)the cubby holes in between the car seat dont hold much and i keep my insurance/ pistol in the pass. side compartment and any little odd junk in the driver compartment.
3) i really dont use the glove box bc again, i have to move my seat while driving..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

basically i want to make a hammock style hanging net that extends from your rear strut bar up to the speaker panel. i plan to make one for myself and work it out to be easily accessible while going down the road by simply reaching back, and still hold any thing like CD books or whatever while your going down the road. once i get it done ill post it up and see what people think about it.

i worked in upholstery for about 6 years so this is just something that i kinda find fun.

I'd be interested if it were functional and did not look horrible.

trust me, i will have it looking just like a factory quality cargo net. i still have all the resources to do so. lucky me, my family still owns the upholstery shop.

You must have really long arms to think you can do this WHILE DRIVING.

There is a "cargo package" that attaches to the back of the seat.
There is an net that fits in the back of the Z.
I think nets all well covered.

I have the nets and both are ok but to use the passenger seat unit you still have to move the seat which I don't want to do while driving.
