If you could get it wired and all, I don't think it would be a direct fit. The cluster would still read 23k if you got it installed though.

mileage is stored on cluster. any cluster you get, that's not a 01-02 you will need to rewire to get it to work on your car.

you'd have to take it to honda to get them to reprogram the mileage for you. the mileage is stored on the cluster itself.

Mileage is stored in the cluster. I believe this is the same throughout the industry. My coworker with a Chevy truck had to have a new cluster installed by the dealer and the dealer had to send the new cluster out to be reprogrammed with the real mileage.

that's right. unless you pay honda to change the mileage for you, not sure how much that costs.

also, you're on your own about rewiring, to my knowledge, no one has done an ep3 cluster in an em2.

and i'm sure the spacing around the cluster won't sit flush without some modifying.

why do you want to make your car "look" like a civic si? didn't you say you were against that a couple of days ago?

I just want a better looking cluster. Hell, I just realized that it has SI written on it.

I like the 04 cluster, but hate it cause it has only 3 fields but like its trim.
