What gauges look OEM? (RPM gauge needed!) Hi. I just bought a 2004 Civic Coupe VP, and I was surprised to find it had no RPM gauge (and it's a stick). So, I'm looking to buy an aftermarket RPM gauge. My questions...
Who makes a gauge that looks the most OEM (best color matching; appearance and LEDs)?
What options do I have for mounting it? I would prefer to mount it in, or near, the gauge cluster.
Thanks!

Could do a cluster swap from an LX/EX if you want a stock look...
Fine one- wait till the miles are the same since yours is new and then swap it in so miles wont be off...

Rep Power: 0 I put one of the Ultra Shift lights into one of our race cars last night. Really slick setup. We're swapping out tachs and shift lights in the other two cars with these as well.

Rep Power: 788 isspro has gauges that look like stock, and are lit the same at night too! Backlight for needle and numbers. No side light like stupid autometer.

Rep Power: 788 No problem. The best part is you can put leds back there for any color you want. And the actual numbers and needles light up from the back

Rep Power: 788 Looks the same except for km/h and the auto shift letters? We're talking about the DX/VP civic that doesn't come with a tach.
