Metric Speedometer Gauge Faces?
Has anybody seen replacement gauge faces for the speedometer on an EG Civic cluster that reads only in kilometers per hour, perhaps with a secondary miles per hour scale? Such a thing would be good for having if one were to move to Canada :-)
Thanks.

all the JDM EDM and CDM clusters are in KPH instead of MPH...
Not sure on aftermarket faces though... frankly I wouldn't even consider going down that route... I got a set for free... they're just cheap and crappy... they won't mount right or light up properly...
Don't your stock faces already have KPH in small numbers?

Yeah, but it's hard to see (bad lighting through my aftermarket gauge faces) and not as accurate. If I moved to a country that used the metric system and I wanted to take my car with me, I would want Km/h as the primary scale.

Then just swap over to a JDM or EDM cluster.

Yeah, that's probably the best solution. Or at least get one of those and swap faces with it. Is there a way to transfer the odometer between gauge clusters? And how does that work, would it still be in miles or kilometers? Do metric gauge clusters clock the odometer in miles or kilometers? Do J/E/C-DM vehicle speed sensors send different pulse signals or is it purely cluster-related?

the cluster (well speedo) does all the milage/conversions.... the edm or jdm cluster is a plug and play unit... it just displays and counts KPH...
You're not allowed to switch odometers... you just go to a shop or the dmv and make note of current milage and the new clusters milage.
