I just installed a tach on my 98 Civic LX (Canadian, so thats the cheap version). It cost me about $100 canadian, and took 15 minutes. I'm very impressed with the design, but it leaves me wondering, why don't they just put a tach in all vehicles from the factory, especially if they are all prewired for it? I didn't have to run any wires at all, so its just a little weird. Like how much more could it cost to make all civic gauge clusters with tachs? When you factor in part reduction, probably about the same, no?
