I'd prefer the Civic design. The buttons seem better placed and the design is a little better for your 89 CRX dash. The horizontal lines, rounded at the corners, better match the shape of your vents and instrumentation. The first wheel has angles that are found nowhere on the CRX dash. You might also paint the silver highlights, since the older Civics did not have such design flourishes. I think people without familiarity would often have difficulty detecting it as out of place. I don't know if it works, sorry.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
