Default question about 6th gen gauges

are these gauge faces OEM from any trim level or any other country? the lettering doesn't look right, or at least doesn't look like the lettering on any 6th gen gauges that i've seen.



this is what i'm used to:

Those are from the coupe, Im not too sure which models I think the 01-02 ones. The second one is from the 4 door and earlier coupes.

The first one was used in the 01-02 Coupes, and the 2nd one was in the 98-00 Coupes, as well as the 98-02 Sedans.

cool. thanks for the tips!

are they supposed to be a lighter shade of gray, or is that probably just the result of a camera flash? i'm sort of liking coupe font better. a little more modern than that futuristic font honda has been using since the 80s...

It's actually a much more graphite-ish metallic shade of gray. Sparkly during the day. They're from the 01-02 Coupe V6, I put them in my car.

No, but trust me when I tell you that you'd love them. I got mine for $50 on ebay and they're one of the best things I've ever done to my car. They have red needles and a very metallic graphite colored face. They look awesome in the day, and way better at night than the nasty orange needles.
