Alright boys and girls. Everyone wants a nice, classy looking interior in their Accord.
A popular interior mod is the ever good looking chrome trim rings for the gauge cluster. However, these range in prices from $30-70.
I can have you do it for less than $16 CDN.
1. Buy yourself a roll of 1/8" Chrome trim. I found this stuff at Canadian Tire, see link below:

2. Remove gauge cluster
3. Pop the front cover off the gauge cluster, by undoing the clips that hold the cover on.
4. Lift the black face plate off.
5. Begin installing the chrome strip. It simply sticks in place. Work your way around and try and make a nice joint at the bottom.
6. Do all 3 rings.
7. Put it all back together.
8. Enjoy.
While I had mine apart, I also did my needles red, using a red permanent marker.
This whole thing took me about 10 mins once the cluster was out of the car. Very easy to do, cost effective, and looks just about as good as the real deal.
