dc5 itr cluster installed
yah i know about the stains on the plastic face. i told the seller about it and he's sending me another cluster. he also said i can keep the old one 
anyways, wiring isn't even hard. i looked at the civic and rsx pinouts (thanks gearbox/steve) and all i had to do was match the wire colors. as for the bezel, all i had to do was a little bit of trimming with the dremel.
here's some pics (night shots to come)

Re: dc5 itr cluster installed
Snap, thats pretty clean.
I was thinking about doing this about a year ago, but never got motivated enough for it, and just grabbed the 03-04 cluster. How much did you pay?
Got any shots of the bezel fitment?
