the cluster is not plug and play, there was a shitton of rewiring and making brackets to make it fit w/o gaps and heating an acrylic window to fit over it.

i reused the b7 dizzy, but if you do so it will only be able to be screwed down with 2 bolts.

its not too difficult, all it involves is a holesaw. the gauges hold themselves from the back.
i was originally gonna put them on the part that sticks up right above the glovebox, but it would have been a bitch since i would have had to relocate the air ducts. there was nothing behind the upper part, and i figured it would be a perfect place to mount gauges.

it involves finding a wiring diagram for the civic cluster and integra cluster (i used haynes manuals for each), and simply rewiring the wires to go to the right pins for the teggie cluster. if you have a 96-00 civic, your clips will work, you will just need to change the wire locations. if you have a 95-earlier like i do, you'll have to go to the junkyard and get some clips for the gauge cluster off an integra or 96-00 civic will work. oh and dont trust the diagrams off the internet, there are like 6 of them out there, you're best off getting a service manual and finding the right ones for yourself. the hardest part about the teggie cluster is making it fit without any gaps, and doing the plastic piece in front of it. i wouldnt recommend this mod to anybody without a dremel and some creativity.
