Icon2 94 Civic Dx Hatch - Gauge cluster with rpms or Tachometer?

I have this speedometer that doesnt show the rpms and it is kind of annoying but i wanted to know what would be better to do. Get a whole new speedometer that has rpms or a tachometer rpm? which one is least expensive and in all of your opinion better?

the best looking option would be to buy a gauge cluster with a tachometer built in, and install it. The cheap and shitty way is to buy a tachometer and install on your dash, but you'll be called a ricer

Installing a new cluster is REALLY EASY.

Just take out the four screws. Two top and two bottom. Slide it out and unplug it.

Then do the same but in reverse.

Atleast thats what I did with my EJ8.

Guage cluster with tachometer built in is best!

The green plug on OEM clusters is unused on DX models. It is for cruise control, which you don't have.

Grab a cluster from any '92-95 Civic LX, EX or SI. It's plug and play, no modification needed. They all come with a tach, but the LX has a lower redline compared to the EX/SI.
