KPH to MPH analog guage change out (HELP)
Here's the deal!....Because I am here in the Cayman Islands the camaros that we are getting are EXPORT models and come with the analog gauge in KPH so it reads from 0-300 and it is not an option I can change. Our speed limits are in MPH unlike other Caribbean islands and I just personally prefer it to be in MPH....so my question hopefully one of you guys can answer it for me.
Will I be able to change the overlay or gauge out for it to read in MPH? I know that the car has a digital read out between the speedometer and the tach that can be changed between metric and imperial, but I want my analog in MPH! So someone please help me find an answer. THX |

hmmmm that's a good question, i do not know the answer though sorry. But from what i have seen here on the forums is that most people use the DIC over the analog. I know u may want it in mph just for looks though so idk.

The analog NEEDLE will also change to MPH when its US. Try it when you go 160kmh and change from metric to US the Speedo (NEEDLE) goes to 100 mph.

Ok you need to read your owners manual. You can change it back and forth anytime you like.

Yeah I know the digital can be changed from metric to imperial but I am talking about the analog gauge with the needle.

Can someone take pictures of the analog gauge and DIC in both KPH and MPH that way I can see it to believe it?

Perhaps you could use a gauge pack from a US car? If yes I may have one for you.
