Default New guages

I need some help with my guages. I want my speedometer to read up to at least 180 mph and dont know where to buy something like this. I've seen some of you with speedometers that read higher than your regular and wanted to know if you can tell me where/how to get this done? Thanks

This company will make what ever design you want and make it read as fast as you want it to. Yet in order for any future accurate mph readings, I suspect you will need to have your computer tweaked and calibrated to read accurately.

They did the new ones for my Monte, took about 8 weeks from design to delivery. You have to submit a rough design, they tweak it, you tweak it again, they do another adjustment, you approve it, then it gets queued for production.

Look over their designs. Pretty trick things thay can do. Expect to drop about $250 for custom gauge faces.

Thats alot of work for something that really isn't functional. Your car probably can't max out the speedo as is, and like Zippy said you'd have to have the speedometer re calibrated to reflect the new numbering.

These guys are minutes away from me in Niagara Falls, NY, I had a custom gauge face done for my monte and the overall finish was great however I had 2 continuous faces bubble within 3 weeks of use and Al couldn't figure out what was going on, so he refunded my money. Told me this happened when he first started out and hasn't seen it since, but since my monte is rotten to the core, it showed otherwise.

There website shows all kinds of satisfied customers so I guess mine was an isolated issue. He did tell me to check back in the future, hes working on a new laminating process that will eliminate this problem.
