Default i need new gauges

does anyone know how to change the factory gauges into something less plain? i have a vp and the only gauges i have are speedo, fuel, and temp. how do i move the fuel and the temp gauges over like on the ex? is it gonna be more work than is really worth?

I know with 92-00 Civic's alot of DX owners swap in LX/EX/Si gauges as they have tachs but I am not sure if you can do the same for 01-05. I would think you would be able to though.

it can be done, you need 01-02 gauges though. You can't use the fancy looking ones w/o rewiring the pins.

It can be done, you need EX gauges and i believe you have to do some re-wiring. You might want to check out http://www.7thgencivic.com and search there
