A cargo net is a cheap mod that can come in handy. This honestly should be already installed by the factory. This will help you a lot if you buy groceries. Here are the things needed for this install:
- Cargo net and hooks
- Prying tool or flat head screw driver
- Drill with drill bits
- Paint to prevent rusting
- Rivet tool (you can use my guide below for a diy rivet tool)

Open the trunk and remove the center trunk liner that runs over the latch hook. Grab the side trunk liner and pull back. We will need to locate the holes where the anchors will connect. Each side has two mounting points. The top mounting point on either side is located at the top near the trunk arm. The area protrudes out. The bottom mounting point is below it at the bottom. Use a drill with a 9mm drill bit to dril out the hole. A 3/8 drill bit will work just fine

Use some paint to coat the holes to prevent rusting. I happened to have some orange paint laying around.

Wait for the paint to dry and put the rivet into the hole.
Use a rivet tool to pull the rivet through the hole.
If you don't have a rivet tool, you can make your own DIY rivet tool with the following items:
- 9 mm bolt
- washer
- nut
- piece of metal (used a metal bracket)
- 9 mm ratchet
- 9 mm wrench

Assemble the items onto the bolt in this order:
Bolt > nut > washer > piece of metal > rivet

Use a long bolt. The bolt I used was a little short and I had to work a little bit harder.
Use your socket wrench or regular wrench to hold the bolt head.

Grab the piece of metal so it wont spin. Use a wrench and turn the nut in the middle clock wise. This is easier with an extra set of hands. As you rotate the nut, you will feel it tighter. Tighten the nut enough for the rivet to clamp onto the hole. Repeat this step on all anchor spots. Put the trunk liner back and install the middle liner back as well.
Grab the anchor and insert the rod. Rotate until it tightens together.

Screw in the anchors to the four anchor locations.

Hook the ends of the net to the anchors.

Here's what it looks like with the trunk tray.

It would have been so much easier if Honda just had locations ready for the anchors. I think this mod is definitely worth the cost.
