You can but you'll have to have someone get into the computer. Take it to a dealer and the can do it.

Or you can get a hand held and try it yourself.

Check this out for calculating how much yours is off.

Don't do it!! Think about the mileage that you're saving on the odometer. You travel 60 miles and get 45 on the odometer. 18000 miles a year shows about 13500.

Yup. He can use the calculator I posted up to see how fast he's going at what speed and just keep that in mind.

There are apps for your phone that show your speed based on GPS.

Then if he tries to sell it that's called scamming people and having a low character in general

I'm certain he had to hack up the fenders to get these to fit.
