juzi thats not very constructive, these forums are turning into just a mocking forum, not helping ppl out.. aerotc i reckon go something like a peice of mdf cut to size, then cut holes for speakers, if u have subs might want a couple of holes in the middle to aloow more bas into the cabin (these must be vents not tubes)... make a bit of a pod for ur speaker spaced up off the mdf, and then fibre glass it. i think there are some pics in the for sale section of a custom parcel shelf

parcelshelf consists of 12mm MDF with auto carpet glued on, bought from from clark rubber, 2 alpine type R 6x9's and 2 sony xplod 4" speakers that arent there anymore, the 4" speakers were removed and the covers left in place, the holes now act as ports for the subs in the boot, and the good thing is, even though the metal has been cut, you can't see it when looking in Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

And mine looked the same as above, except just 2 x 6" coax in it. I'll be going something different this time, definately go for flat. How's that done?

antho i dunno how he did his, but ive made a few boxes before, with writing or images. its easy, just get a strong thick cardboard, cut out what you want, ive done things from brand names, car names, car logos, flames etc and get a spray on adhesive, and stick it on, then spray the adhesive all over, and push the carpet into every crack. looks really good. make did his whole 180sx interior custom and it looks really sweet.

Thanks blinkme1a Ive never made a parcel shelf before so Im just wondering if all you do is trace around the original one? And do you have to allow for the extra thickness? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah you would have to allow for extra thickness, you would use the original as a base for your though, and you woudnt need to allow that much for the extra thickness. ive never made a parcel shelf myself either, apart from mine, but if ya make one show us it aye .
