This Vanagon is awesome. The paint job, the wheels, the dropped look. It’s all just plain awesome! The gold headlights? Not so much, but the rest of it is awesomeness! I found this on the OhSoRetro Instagram account. Go check them out.

Vanagon owners are famous for wanting more gauges and switches in the cockpit of their Vanagon. We have covered several different ways to add gauges to the Vanagon dashboard, but if you’re looking for something over the top this is it. Whoever created this cockpit is leaving nothing behind. He is obviously a fan of gauges and switches, not to mention CB radios and police scanners. He also installed a wood steering wheel to boot!

I love Vanagons who have the customized grill “eyelid.” I don’t know what the official name of it is, but I call it the eyelid. Usually, people paint them the same color as the van. This guy decided to go the stainless route and it looks great. I believe these eyelids were popular in Europe, but never made it to the US. I’ve tried to buy one in the past, but I haven’t been able to locate a source.

UPDATE: This piece is apparently called an “eyebrow.”

Check out this custom console for the Vanagon cockpit. It is full of gauges, switches, and lights, and is perfect for the Vanagon enthusiast. Although the picture is cut off, it looks like the console contains a cup holder at the bottom. One of the downsides of this kind of console is it limits the ability to mount the Vanagon from the side door, but it sure looks cool.

Many Vanagon owners install fog lights or running lights on their vans. They provide extra light while driving as the stock Vanagon lights are rather wimpy. They also provide a different character to the Vanagon depending on where you mount them. There are many light kits available with several placements to choose from. You can get round or rectangle lights to light up the road in front of you, and the following are only a few examples.
