Parcel shelf fitment question

Would a euro rhd drivers parcel shelf fit into a usdm lhd r53 ? The shelf seems to be a VERY common option iver seas and I have one in one if my r53's and want to put one into my other one also. And even having one shipped from across seas is cheaper than buying in the States...
anybody ???

Probably not, but possibly?

I don't know, maybe might be able to trim it up some?

They are pretty damn cheap over there, too hard to find used over here and to buy new it's like $230 at cheapest not including the rubber mat.

Inflation is a b!tch!



One alternative might be to pick up a RHD glovebox delete shelf and see if you can trim it to fit steering column for our LHD cars,
those can be found for a good price too...



:

You could also try to grab LHD one from Germany like off ebay.de
but the sellers often do not list USA shipping so you have to contact them and ask please for international delivery...

They used to be a pretty popular retrofit back 15 years ago.

just make sure you buy one from the continent, not the UK, cause of course a rhd panel isn’t gonna fit on a LHD car.

Yep, we have both sides for the LHD models. Most places have the RHD models.

Left and right.
