Custom Parcel Shelf
Thought I'd add in a little mini How To in my build thread.
I never much liked the parcel shelf in the vx so I put grills in with 6x9 speakers in but still wasn't happy and the speakers aren't really needed if you already have 4 in the doors.
So I picked up another parcel shelf from the wreckers and decided that it would look better if it was all smoothed out, without the lines for the grills and the centre mount for a baby seat.
So here it goes;
First of all I got a hold of some stretchy fabric, as you can tell from the photo my dad is actually a car upholsterer so I have some of this gear on hand but it can be bought from any spot light store.
You will also need some spray glue, I have it fed from a gun and a compressor but you can pick up some spray can glue from your local super cheap auto that will do the job too.
Now what you want to do is stretch it over the shelf allowing it to sit raised above the lines that you want to cover up and glue it down.
Then you just get your fiberglass resin and matting and cover the shelf in it, leaving it over night to dry and harden!
