it's not plug and play. You have to re-pin the connectors and fab up some brackets for it to work.
here's what I did.

I wouldn't recommend it... I had a GS-R cluster in my 96 coupe... It looked nice except for the gaps around the cluster. You can't really see them in the pic but there are gaps around the top of the cluster. It drove me crazy.
Switching back to a Si CLuster was a pain in the ***... If you decide to do it, I would recommend to make a diagram of the original pinout just in case you want to undo it.

I didn't have any gaps...only thing I had was the two lower corners you could see the edges of the cluster itself. but no gaps, I just fiddled with my "brackets" until it fit snug up against the bezel.

Re: (stackz)
why not just bypass all the wiring and get an ex or si cluster, plug and play?
another option to be a little different is go with a manual crv cluster

Re: (Jswpstdoff)
its not that bad. i think some of the JDM clusters have MPH in the inside, like how we have KM/H on this inner part of our clusters.
it was either spoon, mugen, CTR, or SiR.

Cause I had a JDM GSR cluster sitting at the shop for free
.
Mine doesn't have any gaps, and looks good at night with some orange 194 bulbs in it. Just matters how you mount it and how well your custom brackets are you make for it. I'll take some pictures when I get the car back from the paint shop in a few weeks (and also post up some picts of the car and the H22 motor inside
).

Re: (aemcivic_02917)
The manual ones are identical they just dont have the shift lever positions...
And why do you need one that goes over 120? I doubt your car traps higher than 120 and theres no reason you need to be doing over 120 on the street

Werd. Looks kind of like a "poorman's" Spoon cluster, only in MPH.... but colors looks similar. The 5-spd one would look good in an EK.
Heh, I can see it now..... everyone is going to be looking for a CRV cluster for their EK and the price & availability of them are going to go up

LOL...yeah...its gonna be the new JDM hotness...
The good thing about it is, that there were hundreds of thousands of CRV's made, and they all had the same cluster, unlike the very few Si and spoon clusters available...its a good buy

Heh, I was gonna say ebay. Unfortunately your only other bets would be a junkyard or the honda dealer, I dont know of any other place that sells em
