97+ lude cluster to 5th gen accord
ok...i have seen this done before...but i was wondering how hard of a swap was it..and does the wiring fit right up. how mcuh of a custom install would this be. just remember i am talkin about a Prelude Manual full cluster from a 97+ model into a Accord 5th gen..in my case a 97 LX with a H22A swap>>thanks!

It fits. There will be a tiny gap on the sides but you can use some sheet metal or rubber filling to fill it in. Whatever, just be creative. As for wiring, just cross reference diagrams for both accord and prelude. If worse comes to worse you'll just need to soilder accord wires to prelude plugs. Its a pretty straight forward conversion. A little time consuming but its worth it. Good luck.

What's so sick about it? I'm looking at this auction for a 97-01 cluster ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2445240869 ) And it looks similar to the accord cluster except for the speedo and redline :dunno: I was expecting to see some smooth ass streamlined looking shit

haha i have thought about all 3..going past redline people would be like WTF...so i am thinkin about leaving the stock one in right now. also i saw JDM SiR one on ebay that was relitivly cheap and i thought about just doing that since it is an exact fit. but i dunno. i will let you guys know if i do the lude cluster...just might be a bitch of wiring...but i am sure it could be done.
