Default Changing out the dashboard/clusters/

lol...how much would that cost about? I was trying to look around for dashbaords but i couldnt find anything. Im guessing you'd have to get one from another honda/acura. Are aftermarket clusters a bitch to isntall? I thought I remember reading that...cant wait lol

the cost for retrofitting a "stack" digital dash would vary ALOT from let's say a oem cluster from prelude.

we cannot give you any help unless you point out what car you having now and what cluster you are looking for.

aftermarket cluster like stack and momo(steering wheel hub display) are pretty complicated, considering you have to hook up many different control/display to it. stack cluster cost around what? 2 grand?

humm.... depends if your good at wiring and tech work, as well molding out new parts.

im working on a digital cluster "blue print" right now

so far i got blue wire for rpm, and blue/white for speed output, and i found all the gauges im going to use as well, im planing to have this project done by mid spring, or ealry if my speedo stops working before that.


Gauges prices
~~~~~~~~
GAS $40
Water $40
speedo $120
rpm $140
total $340
~~~~~~~~
other parts like not more then 10 dollors at a arts and crafts store.

thats with round gauges, the next part is taking the logic board out and re wire, and sloder everything with the right output wire. Then next part would be bore out the cluster itself for the new parts. Then after that relocate the little icon lights with the right icon(on top dash of cluster)

doing that itself is going to involve new wires from the light blub socket to a LED to the new location on the new cluster cover icon (ex..turn icons)

this is the only way i have found to be cheapest way to make it digital cluster for a accord.

if you cant do this get a tech to do it, but its gonna cost you at least 500 for labor mabey more.


oh yeah i wouldnt mod the stock ones with white background, i have heard the needle wont work after that.

Yea, that does to way too advance for me. Its going to be a 95 accord non V6 ex. I didnt have a specific brand that i wanted to use I just wanted to use one with a white background. Its not too serious though. That will be done in the near future.

Thanks!
