Default Question about Guage clusters

Currently I am driving a 95 civic cx hb (manual). It does not have a tachometer which I would like to have. I don't want to add a tachometer on the side, I would like to just replace the guage cluster. My question is where is a good place to get nice looking ones for my model of car and what clusters will fit my car (like 92-95 or what). Sorry if any of this seems fairly basic but I am just getting into modifying my car and I thought this would be something fairly easy to do (and something that has been ticking me off a lot). Also are there any other things I could do to make my cluster look nicer? Thanks.

I believe a 5th Gen EX dash will fit and it has a tach in it.

You can get a cluster from an LX or EX which both have tachometers and both plug right in. Ebay or any local salvage yard should have them. As for making your cluster nicer looking you could get those white faces or just make it light up amber.

How do you make it light up amber? I'm thinking there are LEDs or something behind the gauges that you would just replace?

All of the 5th gen civic clusters are hot-swappapble. Just get one and plug it in in place of the old one.
