I was looking on ebay and ran across an S7 gauge set but it said it was for the 96-97 Accords with AT. whats the diff between the 96-97 and my 94? and how hard sre these to install?

Don't buy those!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The center holes won't slip over the needles bc they didn't take into account the fact that the back part of the nedle sticks out!! Also the screw holes don't line up with the original!! Crappy gauges!!!!

i hav them...and they worked fine....went over the needles....just need to be careful around them....as you do any set of gauges.....the screw holes didnt line perfectly...but i just trimed like 1mm in the direction needed w/ an exacto knife and it lined up fine

these gauges are awesome...best looking aftermarket gauge faces iv ever seen for any car...my sig link i think has a couple pics

I can see the point where you had to cut 1mm for the holes. I am very impressed that you could get those around the needles since it just doesn't simply slip over the back of the needles. I still am hesitant to give it a try.

nah, i dont want my interior to stick out and be blatently altered....the gauges look clean and simple...and only those who know that accords never came w/ black...know that iv changed that....and i like it that way
