Default 1990 Si Gauge Cluster Cover in a '89 Si ????

I recently wrecked my beloved '90 si, so i've been looking around for a new one. I also hear that 88-89 si's are a little lighter.

The only thing I really don't like about the 88-89's is their gauge cluster cover, which is more square and blocky compared to the 90-91 covers which are more smooth and round. Is it possible to simply swap the covers? Or would I have to stick a whole dash board (and gauge cluster) from a 91 into the 89?

Would anyone know exactly what I would have to do in order to make this swap? I just want the newer cluster cover instead of the old square one if I get an 89.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

To switch the covers you will also need to switch the gauge clusters

Would I be able to simply plug the '90 gauge cluster into the '89 without any problems?
