Which cluster do you guys think....?
 
Right now I have this ugly grey cluster

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...graycluser.jpg

but I want to change it to either the stock white ones or the black ones. I have everything else on my car black, so I am thinking the black would blend in. But the white may also look alright.

I have changed all the cluster and dash lights to red, so the cluster will light red too no matter which one I get.

So which one yall think....

black

i dont like the blue on the blackones, and im not really a fan of those white ones, get 03+ coupe ones, they are black faced and have the orange/red to keep it stock, you just got to rewire the plugs

blouisgod 03-06-2006 02:29 PM

either the black or white lol. what year / model is the white one from?

the best one - 03 auto cluster.

dp_yz713 03-06-2006 02:34 PM

man why is everyone in love with those 03+ ones lol. i think they are ugly. i just like the bigger tach on the older ones.

on most the white ones I saw it said 01 EX sedan, but thats ebay talk.

i would rather not get the 03+ up one, so white or black??

reqy 03-06-2006 02:35 PM

Lucky for me i have an 03. I love it because it's simple. If you want any, go for the 03. if not i'd stick with the white face.
Best gauge clusters IMO are the IS300s or 01 RSX ones.

CenZ 03-06-2006 02:36 PM

the white is from the 01-02 sedans, my friend has an 02 lx and its in there. but umm out of the 01-02s i guess the black, can you find black with out the blue? cause i think the blue is uglyyyy

read the post above yours. i think those are ugly! lol


you talking about the blue trim around the outside the gauges?

CenZ 03-06-2006 02:46 PM

yup :tdown:


BTW this is #1000

dp_yz713 03-06-2006 02:49 PM

yah i dont really like that part either, but it still looks better than this grey crap!! but i think the white would stand out alot, it just dont want it to look rice, which i dont think it would but who knows..

oh yah, congrats on 1000. i was so pumped when i hit the mark

dirtySAMURAI 03-06-2006 03:44 PM

my 01 sedan came with black faced gauges. i swapped them out for the 03+ sedan gauges.

EGGRacer 03-06-2006 04:07 PM

White for sure.

I agree

gearbox 03-06-2006 06:39 PM

ya the 03 clusters are very advanced and cool looking. i have one but the old style is good too if you change the lighting.

hurry man, stop posting and start making this shit :tup: :roflmao:

gearbox 03-06-2006 06:59 PM

okay okay i'll make it tonight lol

dp_yz713 03-06-2006 07:32 PM

yah the 03+ ones look to luxury for me with the chrome trim and stuff. i like the two big tach and speedo ones.

hey gear are the black faces you selling already cleared?

gearbox 03-06-2006 09:06 PM

Yea the numbers are clear, but they go over your existing gauge face. they are not full replacements, just for looks. The stock gauge light will still go through the numbers of the overlay. Think of it like indiglo gauge that doesn't light up. I have some available for auto trans only (with or without auto strip).

dp_yz713 03-06-2006 09:11 PM

really. i may get some without the strip if you got any pics..

gearbox 03-06-2006 09:24 PM

okay i'll have some in a bit. you just gotta put e-tape on the strip and pull out the lights in your cluster from the back so the light doesn't come through for the gear selector.

dp_yz713 03-06-2006 09:30 PM

no prob. i already got duct tape on the back so the indicators dont light :tup:

gearbox 03-06-2006 09:43 PM

ah okay you're all set then :) pics coming in a bit. i gotta wait for the paint to dry and hang em up on the wall.

dp_yz713 03-06-2006 10:53 PM

cool deal. what kind of gauges where they previously? are the number style still the same and stuff?

gearbox 03-06-2006 11:13 PM

i dont have instructions yet but you need to remove needles and tape it on. It doesn't look as good as stock but its very close. They're printed on transparent paper so the light should shine through.

dp_yz713 03-06-2006 11:22 PM

so its not the hard plastic like the stock, its transparent paper, or is the part that lights up the transparent paper? also whats the difference in yours and the stock ones. anything major?

gearbox 03-06-2006 11:25 PM

no its thin like paper. its transparent paper, with the gauges printed on it, so light will shine through the white numbers. its the same style as stock, thats the idea so it will fit properly. people wanted a black overlay for their clusters that are grey/silver so I made one.

dp_yz713 03-06-2006 11:27 PM

cool. so just hit me with some pics when they are dryed so i can see them and i will decide. its either that or buy a cluster off ebay for like $40 lol
