Awesome Custom Under Dash Parcel Trays

Decided to treat myself to some cool upgrades and support a VW Custom Aftermarket solution. I also think I'm nearing the end of needing to open up the internals of the front so installing the parcel trays isn't really going to hurt me too much. That being said, i started to look around.

This Parcel Tray Thread appeared on The Samba and pointed to the normal parcel trays from BusDepot. A few posts in and a link to Custom Trays showed up. I'd seen these before and decided since they all seem to be pretty expensive, why not spend the extra for some nice ones.

The guy who makes and sells these is named Stephen. He's out of Southern California. I found him to be very easy to work with, responsive to emails and questions and follow through with what he said he would do. So, I give him a pretty good grade.

I went ahead and ordered the Black Vinyl set of Parcel Trays. They match the rest of the interior I have in the bus. The wood ones he makes look awesome and it was definitely a discussion point, but the vinyl was the way I went.

Trays took a couple of weeks to make and then shipped with tracking number. They arrived yesterday.

Trays were packed in a recycled box with all sorts of interesting packing material... Broken Styrofoam, plastic bottles, air bags... I'll give him credit for re-using stuff.

Here's the trays in the plastic garbage bags that they were in the packing material with. I want to make sure that you don't take this wrong. I'm not making fun. I'm pointing out the resourcefulness and re-use here. Stephen also runs his own shop to make these things. The product is top quality. I think it's awesome.


Here are the trays unpacked with the hardware and cupholders. The passenger side is on the bottom and the driver side is on top.


Here are the pics of the bottom of the trays that one of the readers asked for:


Here's a close up:


I'll follow up with some pics once they're in place.
