hi guys and gals i m new over here .....
i hope u could help me with my car as i just bought it back
2 months ago.....

i live in bahrain(middle east) (dont worry i m not a terrorist!!!)
our cars are different specs compared to us.
i wanted to order a background for my dash but cant figure out the us model of it.

its a 99 honda civic hatchback
it has only a temp. gauge.speedometer and fuel level in the dash...
there is no rpm gauge

what will that model be in the us a cx,ex ,etc

thankful to all of u if u could help

 

dx i believe!? ......

 

welcome to H-T!!!

by "background" i assume you mean the gauge cluster face?

There were two civic hatches made in 99, the CX and the DX. I'm not sure, but I think the DX came with a tach (is this right, anyone?). If that's the case then you most likely have a CX (or equivalent).

 

Yeah Id say CX

 

I'd say it's a CX since it doesn't have a tachometer. I believe that if you swap in any EK EX/Si cluster the tack will work because I believe it's prewired for a tach.

I concur.

 

i do have a tachometer fixed on the side
i ll try and post a picture

 

I didn't think the DX model didn't come with a tach either, at least my 2000 4-door DX didn't. You would probably be safe if you bought gauge overlays (i'm assuming your talking about gauge overlays) for a DX or a CX. Where are you buying from? If it's from ebay, the auction will usually show a picture of what it looks like and you can go from there.

 

My '98 DX coupe didn't come with a tach.

 

CX

 

this is what it looks like ............

 

96-00 Civic DX,CX

 

this is another pic

 

yah thats a dx, and ur rocking the fuzzy dice, Nice!!

 

does it have rear window wiper and is the spoiler paint.

 

Oh and btw that's not a 99 civic that a 96-98 civic. Look at the center console.

 

DX or CX cluster, aren't they both the same?

 

In places other than the US and Japan, the 99-00 models also come with the 96-98 centre console. My UKDM 2000 has a 96-98 centre console.

 

i dont think cx's and dx's came with a tach. also check if you have a rear window wiper, and that cover thing for the trunk.

 

99 hatch with 96-98 climate control?

 

my dx cluster doesnt have a tach

 

 

It is a 96-98 Cx or DX.

You can also tell the body by the rear hatch spoiler

DX looks like this



Where as the CX rear spoiler looks like this

 

DX hatches didn't come with tachs.
Check if your hatch is a DX or CX by the wing as stated above.
If not that, see if you have A/C. I think only the DX came with A/C.

 

i have a '97 DX coupe and my console and climate and all of that is the same as yours but my speedometer only goes to 120
