Pretty new here, I just bought a red 2000 CSVT as I always wanted one. It appeared mechanically sound, but did have dash curl and the steering wheel was ripped a bit. I lucked out and found a replacement dash and steering wheel on ebay. Also wanted a stock shifter, found a slightly worn one on the forums. Looks great now!

Holy hell, that dash was terrible. I have never seen anything like that before. Great job on getting it replaced as well as the steering wheel.

Nice work on that man. Dash boards are fun to swap out, it looks great compared to before.
Nice job!
Looks like you got your windows tinted recently too.

Thanks! It took a bit of time, as it was my first time working on a CSVT. It was a good bonding experience! The difference is night and day. I was a bit hesitant getting this car with a damaged dash but I knew I could fix it. As for the tint, the prior owner had a cheap deteriorated tint with a layer that was peeled off. The adhesive was exposed on a couple doors and rear window, windows could barely function. Took tint shop many hours to remove, much better functionality and visibility now.
