This looks good -- how much room does it leave around the edges?

A couple of inches front to back and none side to side. I'm away from my car for a couple of weeks or I'd take a picture.

This is what I use, I daily driven my car so very handy, just a piece of cardboard or small cardboard box to separate things and keep them from moving around. Cheapest mod ever. Except the frunk liner which is not cheap but well worth it and lightweight.

Looks nice!

The liner is strong enough to support an average weight load you might typically see in a plastic shopping bag. I used this method on my Cayman.

Option two is to also drill into the metal behind the liner. There is a dead space there. No wires, obstacles or anything open to the elements. You can then use sheet metal screws or small bolts. (That's what I did) This way the clips can support very heavy loads and lateral forces. I typically carry gallon containers of paint, milk, etc. so I went this route.

The holes required for the bag hooks are very small. If you decide to remove the hooks later on the holes in the liner are almost invisible.
I prefer not to drill anything to the carpet or frame. But, I think I can drill two holes to the frunk liner (from suncoast) for the bolts.

Thanks for the good information!

Just load it up and grab and go when you get home or at your destination. Once the tote is in the space it has enough room on top for a full back pack or other items.

Wow, made in the USA...a rarity these days...

Would be all over it if I can pick it up nearby.

It's 12 x 18 inches, so it will be a perfect fit for the width section, but will leave about 50% empty space length-wise.

Decided to get the frunk liner from suncoast and 50th anniversary blanket.

I haven't tried it with heavy bags yet, but it seems to work very well preventing lighter shopping bags from going nuts.

Excellent solution. I have that blanket in my frunk and think it's great (a little pricey, but hey... It's nice). Besides, you never know when an impromptu picnic might break out! You're set.

Yes, a picnic is in order this weekend

Thanks so much for recommending these, I think they're a good choice albeit a little pricey.
