yes.. everything will still be functional.. the install may take some time b/c you have to take out your whole dash cluster.

Just for your information mr. 97_accord_lx.... be advised that sometimes, these gauge faces start to come undone after a little while, and needles get stuck on them. I've seen this happening a few times, tachometer wouldn't go pass 4k rpm (gets stuck on GF coming undone).... would get stuck between 30mph and 60mph... until it just finally had a chance to come down or up again.

Use a proper resin to stick them to the stock faces. Make sure you apply it evenly over the entire back of the new faces. If you just put beads of glue, they could shrink when they dry and warp the faces, causing the needles to get stuck on the high spots.
