Bike Rack Hitch Mount and Cargo Net

Bike Rack Hitch Mount and Cargo Net
Two things:
1) Any thoughts on an install for a hitch mount for a Thule (or other) type bike rack? I don't really want a roof rack as the 4.2s mileage is bad enough and I'd like something a little sturdier standard trunk/hatch type.
2) Interested in picking up a light weight cargo net for the trunk. The stock one is way too much for my needs. I can't find it on Audi online. I'm sure there are aftermarket ones that are fine.
Thanks.

Re: Cargo Net - how bout a yakima (or?) net designed for rooftop luggage racks?
They are stretchy & definitely more lo-fi than the OEM audi one.
I've had similar thoughts a few times RE the audi net being overkill. The OEM net shines w/ heavier stuff that really needs to stay put. (i.e. a few cases of wine)
