Default Which cluster would you prefer?

Just picked up a new cluster (Canadian SiR), and I can't decide which one I should rock...both have their own benefits I suppose, can't decide which one I like more yet...Just wanted to see what you guys think:

JDM EK4 (unfortunetly auto cluster, never seen this one before)


Canadian SiR Cluster:

^lol it's odd because I hooked them both up and the car never moved, for some reason the SiR cluster reads the gas as lower than the EK4 cluster did.

The SiR because of the amber illumination.

Yeah, you're right I was going to swap out my Acura EL 5spd temp and fuel gauge, however during the day the JDM cluster is white, so it would look weird. I think it's possible to just tape off sections of it and spray paint it flat black, and sand the auto letters if you're craftsy. I was going to do it, but then bought the SiR cluster and now I like them both, so I can't decide. I'll PM you a price.

SiR cluster is a MUCH better look. I'd rock a CTR cluster, but i like looking at MPH. That's why I'm about to buy an SI cluster. Nevertheless, go with the SiR.

Yeah after driving around town with the SiR cluster installed today, I'm gonna have to say I'm starting to fall in love with the look of it. I prefered the larger numbers of the EK4, but this one just looks so sexy during the day. I really like the CTR as well, but mainly for the CF looking bezel it has, that may be my next upgrade in the near future. As for Km/hr, I'm in Canada, so we use the metric system, thus why I was rocking both km/hr clusters.

SiR reads 220. That means your car go supa fast. The EK4 only goes 180. You need the SiR. Gives 500000 hp and -2 tq. HAHAHA.

SiR. Looks way better.

I am in Canada too. I upgraded the SiR cluster on my EM1 to a CTR cluster, looks great, and goes along well with my Type R swap

case closed!

yeah you got lucky on the kmh. I don't want to have to be in court explaining to the judge how I wasn't quick enough in converting kmh to mph. i love the carbon bezel and the yellow needles on the CTR. sets everything off.

SiR... One of the sexiest choices for the 6th gen Civic. CTR is my choice too but the SiR still looks tight and has the MPH in the middle since Canada touches boarders with the US. The JDM cluster only has KPH since they are on an island and you can't "drive" anywhere that it changes to MPH. This is my vague American understanding of the reasoning behind that, lol.
