aftermarket guages

would an aftermarket guage face set from a 96,97 accord fit on a 97 3.0cl ?

for example http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/3-D-H...QQcmdZViewItem

the gauges are the same ones from here except the button to change colors is different.
and the gauge cluster looks almost the same except it has the brushed aluminum look.

well im starting to like the s7 guages but ive herd that the needles dont come off that you have to slip the new faces around the needles and over the old face, plus i think it would look sweet with the apex controller i plan on gettin in the near future

That is hot, but the temp and fuel guage is on the wrong sides.

here's the one i put on my spare accord cluster that has some missing parts.

its pretty damn hard to put these on, mostly because you're afraid to break a needle.
ill sell them for $25 shipped with the brushed aluminum bezel
