Default Question on Special Accords

Well, I want to know more about special edition accords, since.... I HAVE ONE! I know they are LX based.. The first question i have is this... I was going to buy some indiglow gauges for my car, but the seller said they only fit LX and EX not SE. He said the holes for the gauges are drilled different. Is this true, and if it is, is this something that you can modify to fit? Thanks

yes SE's are 97 only... so u need to get 96-97 Indiglos non V6. Doesnt matter if its SE/EX/DX.

BTW- there were more colors available... including red.

so the 96-97 EX don't have V-TEC?
i know that the 94-95 have V-TEC
so wouldn't that indicate that since an SE motor is non vtec, you'd need to get guages that are non-vtec?

edit:what i mean by that is ones that redline just above 6 grand, and not like 8 or whatever
