I see a gear indicator tree on the cluster, and a button on top of the knob. So I would assume so.

I saw the indicator, but not the button so I wasn't able to tell. Since it is auto I would suggest to stop spending money on all the Bolt-ons and to swap it to manual.

Yeah but I've seen worse. They're way better than altezza's imo.

I was wanting something with LED's so I had the longer bulb life and overall brightness. If I had found some OEM looking ones that were LED, I would have jumped on them. These are my temps until I find such >.<

debating though between 5-speed conversion first or rims/tires/suspension. leaning more towards the rims/tires but i'll throw a few numbers around and see what i decide on. should be a fun few months.

Swap to manual lol. ... it's still an HX. The most economical of the economy civics. Id just leave that engine alone.

See, and that's what I started thinking myself. Going to stick now with a D16Y5 motor is almost... Pointless. As it stands now, I'm getting 41-46 mpg HWY (a smidge more with the new exhaust, header, and intake). I think maybe I should hold off on the 5speed until I do the K-swap. Until then, bolt-on's might be a good route to get everything "the way i like it". =)

Thanks dude :cool: This motor just is extremely tough to get any good power out of. It even is a bit short on power when turbocharged. Id put that modding money into a swap or maintenance/upgrades to the chassis itself.
