Default Thermostat rating. Is this going to be a problem?

Well I got a new thermostat, but the guy gave me the wrong one. It fit's and all, but the rating is wrong. Civic's need a 195 and he gave me a 180. Is this going to be a problem? Will I overheat or something? I am guess it will just open up quicker, but will something bad come out of using it? I know that you should always go by specs, but is this one flexible? I need help as I am not to familiar with the cooling systems.

Your fine. Cooler is not bad, only hotter is.

O.K. Just wasn't sure about how flexible the ratings are. I just didn't want to blow a head gasket or something over a $30 part. Thanks .
