Red Gauges?

Is there any way to get our gauges to be like the 2003's?[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] I really like how it glows red around the cluster and all. Is there a way to have a like red glow around our 2k1 cluster?

All tight like this one.

Erg.. Why do they have to go and improve some shiz that wasn't in the 2k1 models?! Erg. I also noticed the little crome piece on the directional thingy for the AC vents. They are also on the 2k3 LX models (as well as the trim around the gauges). *sigh* Oh well. Can't have everything.

My buddy has an 03 and I like the colours. I just don't like the 3-ring design. I like my 4-ring on my '02 EL, thanks very much.

Yes, I want those too. Too bad they are still wrapped with those shitty Firestone's. I finally get to see what they look like when they are lit up. I like em, and I kinda don't. Im with Telly, I like the original 4 ring design with the amber/orange look.

They are the 99-00 Si Rims, except on the 99-00 Si, they had 195-55-15 tires on them, because I have seen them on eBay with that size tire. Honda was stupid and decided not to put them on '01-02. Or possibly they didnt have the supply of them. At the dealership they quoted me a price of 700 bucks for those for my 01.

The 2001 and 2002 Civic guages are more practical for slightly more enthusiastical drivers.

Having the MPH and Tacho the same size, next to eachother, and equa-distant from the center of the gauge cluster makes it easier to read. This is good for manual drivers (although most "feel" their car, and know when to shift).

For the daily driver who only has to read the speedometer, to keep him/herself from getting pulled over by the cops. It's easier to find the speedometer when it's dead center'd on the gauge cluster. These drivers sometimes don't even care for the Tachometer.
