i was wondering if they made an 04-05 face kit yet...01-03 has them all over ebay and other sites...wanted to know if 04-05 were released yet....any info will help...thanks

nope. 04-05 is LED based and really hard to make a proper gauge face cause it pops out in the centers. that's my guess, anyways...

its actually 03-05 that has the led gauges. and ya there isn't anything you can put over cause they're not really flat. That and the needles are really close to the face. You could always make something custom but I think those gauges look nice already.

lol, your silly. Its the same as any other gauges. They do have gauge faces for them, but I don't remember where they are sellin them. They've got the s7 style.

i've never seen those for the new gauges. Just order some indiglo sheets and make your own. Not that hard, at least if you just want regular indiglo.

would these work from an older model civic 92-95?

okay no they won't nm

No... same sort of setup... but the temp and gas gauge is backwards. And The cel lights are all wrong, as you know.

i like the 04 civic gauges better then the indiglos. thats just my opinion. seems like a waste of money but maybe it will turn out good.

Theres another minus for the old ones: Speed gauge ends in 120 (a more realistic numer for a 7th gen... at least mine, since my govern bumps me off at 117)

because that was probably a mistake on their site. NOBODY makes reverse glow gauges for the 03-05 Civic.

well, people have done an 01-02 to 03-05 gauge conversion. why not do an 03-05 to 01-02 gauge conversion, and then you can get some gauges made for those years instead?

Heh, i asked myself this a while back, and actually got boredenough to do some stupid stuff

I was on team-integra reading some articles and then came across a guy who actually took his integra cluster faces and scanned them into this computer. using photoshop, he editied the fonts of the numbers, hashmarks, etc and did some wierd design thing or put an integra logo on the speedo or revcounter. ANyways, it came out very good, actually, and he printed it on non-glossy overhead transparency plastic sheets.

SOOO

that's what i did thing is like gearbox said ( i have an 04 btw ), the speedo face is not flat. from the outer edge, it gets higher, then drops back down flat where the KPH readings are. and, yeah, the needles are pretty close to the face, but removing the plastic ring clips around the hoole where the needle sits helps a little bit. anways, i actually traced the speedo and then scanned the revcounter and fuel/coolant faces and then imported them to PS, changed the number fonts to something resembling that of a prelude or RSX and got rid of the red rings around the gauges. THen, i went to kinkos and had them printed out. they actually worked really well . only thing, i had to use 3-4 of the same printed sheets on top of each other becaue the black ink on the transparency sheets was too thin so light shone through them. also, i forgot about the whole non-glossy thing and they were really reflective in sunlight.

ill try to get pics up when im home

EDIT: ok, found my thread:

http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=168324

these arent in the car anymore cause they looked kinda tacky. actually, not even the red gauges (sig) are in there haha. i have amber gauges now with the removed red ring. but once i trade in for a manual coupe, ill get back on these and actually spend more time on it this time since i feel more comfortable with tinkering than i did a year ago when i started this.
