The storage bins stayed in place when I removed the dash, with the storage bin doors coming off with the dash. This CC DS is an old series style and the more I investigate this thing, the more it seems like a later year possibly a '99. The reason I say this is because it matches the wiring of a '99 cart. As far as the dash is concerned, I have no idea if it is an after market piece. This cart came with the house when I purchased it a little over two years ago. I call it my "rat car" because my wife has a nice looking Yamaha, so she lets me experiment on this thing. Kind of a Frankencart, with the mods I am making. I have 22x11x8 inch rear tires and in the front I am running 8" trailer wheels and tires, about 3.5" thin. Think funny car. I have the rear jacket up and rear fender flares. With the slight mods I have made, I can get it up to about 23-25 mph on a flat surface and it has plenty of torque.

That tells it all - there are no doors on a stock dash....so you have an after-market dash. I'm surprised the roof supports needed removal (it must be a big wrap-around type).
