Like the cargo net--looks like a good fit.

As for the amber light delete--why is this done? Doesn't seem like a good idea to me. Did you read this on the company site:

Please note: The headlight reflectors are there for a reason... For your safety, we do not recommend covering the reflector side marker lights on your headlights. This item should only be used for "off road" or "show use" only. Import equipment is not liable for actions that result from buyers covering the reflector side marker lights in the headlights.

Roof cargo net.
 
I like the roof net for blankets, hats, smaller rope and line, all stuff I keep in the car. The only downside I see is it ties up the handle grips so they can't be easily used. My wife and my elderly parents all use the hand grips to get in the vehicle now that I have the rock sliders and a 2" lift on it.
I'd be looking for a smaller cargo net that just covers the roof behind the back seat, where I can reach it from the tailgate.

It's for looks. I love it on my truck, but I also put a nice bright amber led bulb behind there, and you can still see the amber reflector just fine with it. To each his own

It looks like you can use the handles. That they’ll still move ok, correct OP?
