on the dash = ew.

Seen a few nice ones installed in place of the stocker, looked VERY nice.

If you just want to know what RPM you're at, why not just get a stock cluster with a tach? Cheaper that way and looks FAR nicer.

I don't think so. And honestly, can't say I blame the people that did it, I don't know that I'd want every ding dong with a civic able to replicate that.

Is it hard? I very seriously doubt it. The tachometer will come out of the stock cluster by itself, so I doubt it's more than a little cutting and some wiring.

Its plug and play with a ex cluster. When I did mine the wiring was all screwy from the kid that had the car before me and I had to trace wires to get mine to work.

OP, I'm assuming you have a DX or CX, just swap in an EX cluster that has a tach. It's simply plug & play, no cutting no wiring. U also may wanna swap your old odometer into your new tach to keep your correct mileage also, not hard at all.
