How about gauges, head unit, tinted glass, shifter, shift knob, pedals, Cusco roll cage, dash overlay, custom floor mats, and hot chick in passenger seat.
1. New seats. This was probably the best upgrade, they look way better than stock and it's the only thing in the car you're going to be touching all the time. And when someone gets in the passenger seat it's the first thing they mention when they sit down, "Oh, I like these seats!" Except when you're my dad and I pick you up at the Toronto airport and by the time we hit Sarnia you're sitting on a stack of pillows and blankets to keep comfortable.
2. Audio system. I went with a touchscren install, it's really nice. Doesn't actually add that much for the amount it cost but it definitely looks better.
3. Clean your damn car. You would be amazed at how nice a simple clean car can be. I mean scrub it, get that salt out of the carpets, get that vinyl squeaky clean. It looks way better.
4. Suede armrest, suede shift boot and a new shift knob. I cut my shiftboot pattern out of some suede I bought for $7 at a craft store and brought it to a stitching place in the mall for them to sew together for $10. That was my shift boot and it looked great. And my shift knob was $14 on Ebay, I love it. It's a chrome red colour with white numbering on top. It's not weighted but passengers don't know that.
5. Suede door inserts. This cost me $10 for the suede and I did it all myself, it looks much better. There's a D.I.Y. somewhere here to do it, TRIZ made it. Most things in your car can be done yourself if you're not too lazy to learn. And hopefully, unlike my girlfriend, you know the difference between a screwdriver and a wrench.

This is what I did... I cleaned my car out, put OEM black floor mats in- the fit is perfect and really pulls the car together more, shift boot, hidden air freshener to make the car smell better, door panels, and be sure to keep your windows washed inside and out, it makes a huge difference. After that, decide what you wanna do.. stereo, type R pedals, short shifter w/ knob.. suede headliner, rsx seats... Oh, I also swapped my gauge cluster form the 01-02 style to the 03-05 LED style... totally changes the dynamic of the car.
So what mods can I do to my gauge cluster? I have a 98...
I was looking for something like the reverse glow ones, those look pretty cool. They might be an eyesore during the day, being white and all.
I guess I'm looking for something cool, yet still stock-ish
Would putting LEDs behind the gauge maybe help me attain this look?
No. You (I mean I because you can do whatever you want) don't want one single thing standing out so much in your car. If you're going to do something as distracting as bright LED gauges then you should do some other things in the car as well to take the constant attention off these gauges. That's my opinion, otherwise it'll be like the guy that puts a huge aluminum wing on their Civic and no other modifications. It just stands out.

i took a different approach and put leds BELOW the cluster to make it glow the color i wanted. its an 03-05 led cluster that is normally red and white, but i wanted some orange so it matches the rest of the dash. the leds are 5mm kind and are running at very low brightness not to outshine everything else. i have 5 in the middle and 3 on each side, total of 11. see if you have space down there to do it without leds being visible. some of the light is shining above on the black bezel too which is cool. i made the middle leds brighter than the sides.
did that to match custom orange dash leds which are also brighter than normal
