The tote that I had before is beat up, plus it's too tall to really use in the micro-trunk of the FR-S. I was thinking of going with this, as it's cheaper than the one that Scion offers, and as it's Snap-On I kind of expect it to last. The measurements are 21x9x7.5, anyone know if that will work for us?

Picked one of these up from Harbor Freight and it seems to be working great for the price:

Am i the only one who has multiple bags of groceries?

These seems like a good idea, but if i only have one or three bags, i just put it on the passenger foot well or the back seat.

And if i have more then three bags, i would find it to be cumbersome to put on a hook like this.

It seems like this mod would be useless in any situation I would have with bags.

I would just get a short wide cardboard box and stuff that in the trunk. Sure the the box will move around a bit but at least there's no mess.

I just can't wait for the official BRZ rubber trunk mat to come out...

Perhaps you should install more than one?

theredtape · 11-21-2012, 10:07 AM

Awesome I am going to install one or the left and right sides. No more thirty packs sliding around in the back of my car!

The hooks are bigger/stronger than you think.

Could probably get ~4 bags on each side of the hook.

when you have a lot of bags it fills up teh trunk space making things not slide around as much. with only a few bags you can hang them... that is the point.

Thanks for the tip - just snagged two off Ebay. Just last night I missed out on some of my favorite corners (which I so seldom have to myself) because I didn't want groceries all over the place.

I have a Shiner Bock case box in my trunk holding air compressor, fancy tire gauge, maps, etc. The box slides all over the place. Kinda drives me crazy but I have been too lazy to get some velcro for the bottom to grip the carpet. Lesson is: box that holds a case of beer fits perfectly!

Clicked a "thanks" for this. I ordered two of them and installed one (will probably do the other, though may put it in the wife's car). This thing is awesome and works great. It always seems like the only time I get the free road to take ramps or corners at speed is when I have a trunk full of groceries - now it doesn't matter!
