do the clusters from the same year civics fit the ep? like the coupe or sedan models?

I highly doubt it, there doesnt seem to be anything that is interchangable (aside from the wheels) with any CIVIC. the car is more like an Acura RSX type H than a Honda Civic Si..... but no, I doubt anything would drop right in

The rsx cluster and ap1 (s2000) cluster match up without much electrical modification. (none for the rsx, I believe)

The shapes dont match up exactly so it takes some creativity. I think there exists an adapter shroud for the s2k cluster. Ive seen one or two with custom fiberglass shrouds that came out looking real tight.

Id recommend the rsx cluster. the silver on the dials compliments the silver accents inside the ep.

there was a guy who did a dc5 cluster swap into his ep. all the information was on the hatch before the crash.

i can't remember his username, but he drove a blue ep, in florida i think. he also did a couple other mods like taking out the amber portion of his 04/05 tailights.


OH! his username was benmunger, i remember now!

Yeah, the DC5 swap was sweet, but as I remember it was a good bit of modding and not a drop-in job. What sort of gauges do you want? Didn't the other EPs come with black face gauges?

yes you can swap the ep2 gauges in, they're quite interesting but you'll have to get the kind from the manual ep2.
they're black with silver rings that stick out i think.

Finding EP2 stuff is such a pain. They rarely sell it on Ebay uk or other Ebay sites, and I cant find a foreign OEM supply warehouse site like we have here. :mfrown:

Id love to get my hands on an EP2 grill.

Thanks! That was a trend I noticed with all the UK sites. You need to call them. I couldnt find any convenient order from a parts list sites.
