Personally that seems pretty expensive for such a small item. I rather put that money into performance = )

Honestly i wished the gauge gluster in a 03-current accord. The needles are fire red they look awesome.

If you pull the needles you may have to have your speedo recalibrated, I recall a few ppl here having problems when they removed them to do a gauge face upgrade.

Those needles might be cool if you could dim the light output to a comfortable level, and rather than light up the whole gauge just the numbers lit up

Princess Auto carries them. Cheap too. So does Cambodian Tire and Wal-Mart.

i think they look good but like someone mention, pulling off the needles might lead to recalibrating which is pricey

I remember looking at those before. I think it was determined that these would not work on 1st and 2nd Gens. We don't have the right needles. Not only that, the only ones you could use it on would be the speedo/tach.
