Yay or Nay to the net?

...Installed this net. I likes it at first...but now I'm not sure if it looks good after all. Anyone?

...at least the rocker guard spray turned out good.

According to Mythbusters having a tailgate is better for fuel economy than not having one. As far as looks go, it's your truck.

Yep, what alwaysFlOoReD said. Rockers look great.

...yeah..i put the net on for looks. I doubt the gas mileage would improve at all.

They also only tested 04-08 Supercrew shortbox F-150's. Long cab, short really deep box. A Ranger with a shorter cab and longer shallower bed may be different. I know my std cab longbox Ranger only maintains the vortex thing they showed about halfway back.

The net doesn't look too bad, kinda baggy though.

I like the look of a tailgate better.

I dislike nets for a number of reasons, the fact that they are not as secure as a tailgate being a big one.
