I know that the 00-01 type r has the carbon vents and gauge cluster, I was wondering if the 97 type r had the carbon gauge cluster? Reason I ask is I have a 97 gsr and was swapping out the stock stuff with type r carbon pieces. The 97 gauge surround is different than 98 because the abs/seatbelt lights are located in different spots. So I would either need a us spec 97 cluster surround or a Jdm cluster..

 

Yes 97 itr's had the carbon fiber cluster

 

Thanks!!!!

 

But any year 97-01 R cluster will fit. They all have the carbon fiber appearance.
