Exclamation Gauge Pod and Tach!

hey guys, im getting a single pillar pod and tach for it since my se coupe doesn't have a tach and i dont feel like changing my cluster. The pod only comes in black, and my pillar is grey, any reccomendations on how to match the colour with paint, or what to do with that? Also any reccomendations on where to get it all installed?

Let me know, thanks alot!

Install it youself, its VERY easy to install a tach.

as for the colour.. you can pull off your piller and take it to an auto paint store and have them match the colour.. thats the only thing I can think of..

tach

or dont get an aftermarket tach at all. its kinda ricy. and tottaly looks outa place in a car that isnt a full blown drag monster. just swap in a cluster that has a tach its simpel as ****, pure plug and play and it dosnt look like ***. this is all my oppinion of course, i like the stock look but that could just be me!

ive never heard that you haveto go to the ministry to report a changed odomiter, ive changed almost every cluster in every civic ive ever ownd never had a promblem but granted yes it does change it. i would personally just wait and search for one remotely close to what your milage is.

you do.. its illegal to change an odometer out of a car
back in the early 90's used car dealerships were doing it, hence the law

Get an Si cluster, change the speedometer from yours to the Si. Call it a day. Your KM's stay the same.
