RE: Where to get new gauges
yea forgot to ask, are you looking for new gauge faces of the stock gauges, or are you looking for aftermarket gauges that will show things like volts, tach, oil temp, oil pressure, engine temp, etc. ?

RE: Where to get new gauges
Im looking for the gauge faces like speedometer, temp...Not the other gauges like eng temp...Im looking for some aftermarket ones, maybe that light or something cool looking, anything but the crappy stock ones. Ive seen some here and there but known for a 95 civic dx, on the dx it doesnt have the rpm gauge either.
Thanks, ill check out some of the sites so far.

www.speedhut.com is where you wanna go then
My ebay ones looked AWESOME and the white faces looked pretty sick too, except they burned out in just a few months, so i'm gonna recommend you stay away from them. I've heard other people have the same trouble as well
Or you can do somethin custom like me, Addiction2bass, gino0o0o and a few others have done. Take your gauge cluster all apart, dremmel out an area and put flexible LED strips in from www.oznium.com to light up the gauges. Check any of our gallerys for pictures, they look sick. Theres a DIY somewhere on here, PM addiction2bass if you want more info

The small guages that people put in the car, are usally to see what. Things like engine temp....Like what is the range of things people monitor with these extra gauges, and could i get one for the rpm since it doesnt have a stock one.

RE: Where to get new gauges
DXs dont have tachs, so those are useful, if you have alot of electronic mods Voltmeters are useful, Oil Pressure/Temperature are good to have, especially if you are running extra oil lines to your turbo n such, Boost gauges are good to have to check your PSI and when your boosting, and Engine Temp is good to have incase you broke your stock Engine Temp gauge like me [&:]lol
