the dash is the same.

i think you're talking about the gauge cluster, and yes, it'll work.

yes it'll work.

And the DX model is a bottom of the barrel economy model with minimal options to keep cost down. The tachometer was optional and standard on HX's and EX's.

they are just gauge FACES, you need to get the actual cluster to have RPM's.
and those are ugly IMHO.

Correct. You are purchasing guage overlays, and it won't get you a tach. You need to get a guage cluster from an EX first, and THEN get those if you want it to look like that.
