Default Driver's Side Tunnel Cargo Net?

I've heard a few references to adding the stretch cargo net to the driver's side of the main powetrain tunnel, which I intend to do. Has anyone done this? I'm sure it's not covered in the service manual, and I'm kind of blocked by a couple issues:

1. Where to buy an extra net? H-A.com only sells the seatback nets and the trunk net, no one seems to sell the tunnel net.
2. How to mount it? A few people have mentioned the holes in the tranny tunnel might be pre-drilled (for the JDM and for Britain), but I'd no doubt have to add the little plastic pegs. Where to get them?

I'd love to have one of these for the driver's side - my cell phone bonks my elbow in the little cell-phone cigarette box hole in the console, and reaching over to the passenger's leg (while having some merits), really isn't the greatest way to go.

Thanks!

It'll get in the way of my heel and toe driving. Seriously I'm sure there would be some safety concerns.

I'm only talking about the sheer net like the one next to the passenger's leg. I'm a small enough guy that I've got plenty of room right there. Even if I don't use it for my cell phone, I can put punch cards in there -- no width to worry about there.

Not sure how you're heel & toeing, Incubus. When I heel n' toe, my toe is on the brake, my heel gooses the throttle. My leg bends AWAY from the drive tunnel, so unless you have legs like a barbie doll (or a heron for that matter) and your knees bend backwards, I don't see how this would be a problem.

Yeah, heel touches the throttle, but the inexperienced driver that I am, I can't control exactly where that heel ends up. Sometimes I brush the Trans. tunnel with it.
It is already apparent that I didn't put a lot of thought into the first response. Just what came to mind.
