Who has switched out their gauge bezel for the RSX Type-S one? I found a really nice one close by where I work, and the guy said that a friend of his did it, but I didn't ask him if the wiring was hard. So I also want to know how hard it is, and if there are any issues. Thanks for any input.

not really... if you look at the clips.. you can remove a clip off the clip and all the wires just pop right out... all u need is the wiring diagram from an rsx and then take the one from our car and just match them up.. its not hard just time consuming.

well its different size gauge cluster too soooo.
time consuming custom work
might well as swap with 03 gauge cluster since those look great and same size cluster as 01-02. although you still need to rewire to make it work

the RSX cluster itself wont fit in the car w/o some modification so if your expecting it to slide right in where the OEM one was your sadly mistaken.

First of all, I don't care if it fits or not. That can be taken care of later. I was just trying to find out if anyone had done it, and if so, how hard the wiring was. It shouldn't be that hard. And I haven't bought it yet, but I'm contemplating on buying it....

My friend got it for me from auto meter. It said it was for a rsx, but it fits prefect on ours to. Sorry i have no picks rightnow. It doesnt get in your view either, the top of it is level with redline.

Hey, TDiddy, so you're saying that the dash won't need to be modified to fit the cluster?

It's not a perfect swap concerning the wires. You will most likely have to splice some wires together, so this will involve getting the electrical layout from Honda and Acura for both gauge bezels.
I really want to see pics because this is something I'd do as soon as I've got the cash.
