White gauge overlay with KPH???
Does anyone know where I can get White gauge faces for my 1987 Trans Am with Kiometers Per Hour as the dominant scale instead of MPH? Stupid Swedish law requires it...grr......

Car: 1991 Z28 1LE
Engine: 355 CID HSR
Transmission: T56
Axle/Gears: 3.23 for now
I have been speaking to Ryan the last little bit about this same thing. I just emailed him on Monday. Still waiting for a response. I had problems with my 91 Z28 cause they didnt make them before because of revisions. However they now have solved that issue now its onto the Kph thing. These guys are impressive cause when I ask about it they usually can find a way to do it.

I gave him a call and we discussed different options for at least fifteen minutes! He was indeed very helpful.
He pointed out something that I should have thought of- my current speedometer will not match with a pure KPH overlay since the car is from Texas!
He suggested sanding down the area around the MPH lettering on my original speedometer, which would allow more light to pass through. Since their overlays are masked on the back, the extra light will barely be visible once it is in place. His only fear was that since the outer ring with MPH would be switched, the scale might not match up correctly and the odometer might have a different number of wheels.
However...I´m thinking it may be easier just to get a proper MPH overlay and tape over the MPH before every annual inspection...
