It would set your car apart from other Civics, but the major scale on the speedo is in MPH and the minor scale is too small. Can you get the rest of your dash lights to match the colour?

Problem is that most of those gauges aren't calibrated correctly, so you may find that your speed is not always as correct as your gauges may say.

Not likely since they aren't stock.

Anyone know where to find those in KM/H?? If they even exist?

Yes kinda. You can say that you think your speedo is off but then it costs a fair bit of cash to get it tested, in which case if it's off, you pay the fine no demerits. This is how it was for me.

From what I can see, those are only gauge faces only so you're not replacing the movement. If the numbers printed on the gauge face match up with the factory numbers, then it shouldn't be problem.

Those are just overlays, they don't affect the calibration of your guage cluster.

Yes those are the overlays. I remember when I had those in my car, the numbers printed on the overlays weren't exactly matched to the numbers printed on the actual gauge cluster, so i'd think i was driving 80, but really doing over 100....Cheap gauges. Hopefully these aren't the same APC crap.

I got a set like them for my 2000. I really like them, much better than the stock black ones.
