Looks good Jose.. I'm not the only one with the CF bezel now. It adds a cool touch to the gauge cluster IMO. Here's mine.
Don't mind the dust from sanding the car down.. hehe.

So lemme get this straight. The bezel is CF? And you swapped the EDM cluster into your car. Where'd you get the CF Bezel? I'd like to do something like that to my car. Also, how does it look during the day? Any glare or other problems from the CF reflecting?
Overall, I give it the "damn good looking" award for the day. Congratulations!
What kinda complications will I run into when i do this. I've taken off the outer bezel before, but have never really gotten into the cluster itself. Could you do a quick DIY for this maybe? Please! At least tell me in a PM or something how you did the needles and what color/brand paint you used. Oh and also a price list of sorts. Then again, you could probably cover this in a DIY *hint *hint
Wow...allot of questions here. Let me try to answer a few.
The 99 Si cluster does not directly bolt in, You need to fabricate brackets and another bezel to take up the space left since the cluster is smaller then the CB7's. Then of course you need to wire in the clusters plugs from the EK. Not impossible to do, I'm pretty sure it can be done in a little over half a day. I was going to do mine but decided to sell my Si cluster and get my TB overbored with the money rather then go threw that mission. plus I wasn't crazy about having an amber cluster and everything else blue/green esspecially when my JDM climate control will be installed soon.
My cluster is OE blue/green, I didn't want to change it because I could never complete convert all the instrumentation to amber. It would be cool but I'll have to live without it.
My bezel is not real CF. I actually couldn't find a real CF bezel plus I didn't really want one either. I wanted it to look more CTR/ITR with that painted on CF looking stuff. You know like the ITR/CTR's dash trims and etc. Well I used a vinyl CF paper my friend bought off eBay. worked out really well and looks great. There are no glares or anything distracting. Just something different to look at that is cosmeticly pleasing.
It's a little late for me to do a DIY since it's already done. But maybe if one of my friend's with an Accord wants to do it I'll document theirs.

what do you need? as far as my DIY amber cluster goes all you do is take out every single little bulb out of the back and buy them in amber or paint them like i did. i dont even know where to begin looking for amber bulbs in that size........
