Default Trunk Organizer

I'm looking for a trunk organizer and was wondering if anyone has found (or built) one that fits nicely in the 250/350 trunk. I saw the folding nylon ones but I'm more interested in a quality one (maybe wood with fabric similiar to trunk). It would be nice to have someplace to put detail mist, micro fabric towels, etc while still maintaining the aesthetics of the trunk.

Anyone?

depending on the amount of stuff you need, cant you just use the cargo net? They can be had on Ebay for 10-15 dollars.

If you're willing to pay a fair bit more, what about the Lexus cargo box? Here's the info from the Canada site:

Don't forget the prices are in Canadian dollars...

As for the Cargo Totes that Lexus offers, it is actually a bit awkward fot the IS trunk. Its size covers about a third of the trunk. It isn't big enough for me. I'd like the container to be as long as the width or depth of the trunk, so it doesn't move/slide around while you drive.

I have the cargo net, I was looking for a professional looking trunk organizer. I like jasoncd's link - that is more like what I was expecting but I'm still going to look for a something a little more sturdy.

I think I would like one, too. How exactly do you order that, is it even offered in the US?

Yes, we Canadians love to be ripped off (sarcasm) by everyone including our government who tax us an additional 15% on that $104.00, that's why we drive to Buffalo to do our shopping and support the local U.S. economy
