check on eBay for an EX or SI clsuter from 96-00. Any of them will work, strictly plug n play.

Those are covers, not gauges.

There were about 20 results for "96-00 Civic Cluster". Check them out and your set. Good Luck!

Okay does it matter if the cluster is coming from an automatic transmission or manual?

I drive a manual btw so should I only be looking at MT clusters?
Thanks

Yes, I would suggest to buy a manual cluster if your car is Manual. Otherwise, you'll have the "markings" (for lack of better words) on the right for "P", "R", "D", etc. It might not be a perfect plug-and-play if the cluster is for an auto. and you have a 5 spd. Just look around, Ebay sounds like the best place for this if your trying to keep the cost down. Have fun!

Do you know if this is true for Canadian models. I have a 99 EX but it has the same cluster as a DX or LX. Will a USDM cluster from an EX work with my Canadian model? It would be great if it would b/c I don't want an external aftermarket unit on my dash.

Thanks.
