Sounds good. You may have to put the transparent material over all the guages so one doesn't shine more than the others.
Here is one I made in photo shop to help people judge where the speeds lines up.

As always, show pics when you are done. Are you going to keep the numbers the same color as the original numbers on the gauge?

Hey I wrote alittle about this in another post and it was a bit sloppy (feel free not to remind me wharbone).
You can take the spedometer out of your civic and put it in the sir gauge cluster.
The only thing that will get in your way is that the sir gauge has higher knobs that the 3 screws come through on.
But if you have the sir gauge intact (all screws) you might be able to use them.
Otherwhise just trim down the knobs a bit.
The other problem which I have is different colors in your gauge cluster .so you can just go get yourself a white-face set and replace only the spedo.
The result is a 8200 redline and a very clean look..
(if this post makes no sense then I really need to work on my communication skills)

Can you take just the faces off of the spedometers and the swap them?
It would be great to not have my milage be different from whats is on my car, but still be able to have matching faces for all three gauges.

I'm not sure but I didn't want to chance it. I thought that maybe the circuit used a different ratio to calculate the speed but if you took two side by side and figured that the mph match their kmph couterparts at the same locations then it couldn't hurt.
New problem...Maybe it was just me but I actually couldn't take off the face..Maybe it was just me but I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to take the needle out without breaking everything
