Question about tan interior

[kjkcsvt]

I have a black 2000 csvt w/ tan interior and have a question about the interior.

In my car the dash and most of the center console is dark brown and the doors are a light tan. Is this how the car is supposed to look? or did some previous owner have the dash warp problem and put in whatever he could find?

I've searched the site and have looked for pictures to see but haven't found any yet.

Thanks for the help.

yep that is how it is supposed to be. Mines the same way

Yeah, I hate that it's that way too! I was even thinking about pulling the dash and painting it to match the doors and such. DupliColor makes a pretty decent iterior color match, looks like it anyway.

Thanks for the info guys.

My next question would be then how or where does one find a steering wheel since mine looks like crap. Is that color SVT specific. I found a leather steering wheel in a yard today on a 2000 contour sport and wonder if it will match?

Keep an eye in the classifieds for someone parting out a car with tan interior. If you're quick you can snatch one up.

Steering wheels pop up in the classifieds every now and then. The hard part is finding one thats in better shape than what you have now. Usually a good one is sold within a matter of an hour on here.

They show up on ebay every once in a while. New ones.

The 98 -00 mystiques have the same tan in them too. In tours that is a 99-00 SVT only color.

Manufacturers (not just ford) make the tan dash darker to cut down on reflecting the sun into your eyes.

i cant wait to change everything brown to black, either dyeing it or painting. i hate the brown/tan combo. it was the very first thing i noticed when i went to look at my car to buy it (planned right there to eventually change to black). black/tan is much more cleaner looking, imo.
