The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) II

Morning guys!

I think I might have found the solution to my luggage crisis with the S2000. I need to fit a weeks worth of luggage for two as well as a lot of MAZOC club equipment, and it certainly won't all fit in the trunk. They don't make S2000-specific trunk racks anymore and the ones that are out there on the used market are rather bulky. I think this is the best solution:

( Click to show/hide )

It uses a pad similar to those hardwood floor rug pads to provide a high friction surface for the bag. It could still damage the paint, especially on the trip back when the car will be dirty. So, I think the solution would be to apply a large sheet of 3M paint protection film to the trunk lid for the pad to rest on. This will prevent scratching and swirling completely.

I have one of those for the Miata. It works quite well.
