Adding Extensions? (urgent!)

So I ordered a wig from Amphigory that, unfortunately, shows the netting in the back.
It's really bad and I'm really concerned about it and I thought maybe I could add extensions, but I don't know where to start. I don't even know where I'd get extensions and what kind to get. ...I hope this shows up.

This is a picture of what it's like from the back: http://www.facebook.com/AmyLeerae#!/...790798&theater

This is a cheaper punky wig from Amphigory, and I'm not returning it.
I have 20 days to fix this. I don't want to order another wig.

So, my main questions are:
Would wig extensions help this disaster?
If so, where can I get them, and are there any tutorials to add them in?

Major thanks!! This is my first try at cosplay and I'm going for Yami Bakura from Yugioh. I'm not concerned with major styling in the back, I just don't want that netting to show so horribly.

A lot of cosplayers get extensions from Doctored Locks. Or you can get extensions from amphigory, which would probably be best, so the colors match.

Here is my favorite wefting tutorial:

You can either make them, like in the tutorial or buy them pre-wefted.
Then sew them on:

Good luck!
