Ok does anyone know if you can use the gauge faces from the SS on a LS Sedan? I really want to change my interior look a bit but I want to stay with something "tame" looking. I do not want any ricer indiglow gauges and I am not to big on white face either. If this is possible how hard would this be to do? Could I just order them from the dealer and swap?

 

the speedometer would not measure correctly if you did. It registers 160, the LS sedan registers 140.

 

I wonder if you can change out the gauge cluster then? But that would probably cost more money than its worth and I am not sure it would be calibrated correctly neways. Maybe I can have http://www.blackcatcustom.com/ make me some.

 

It won't work out as far as trading/switching gauge clusters. The ECU won't recognize it.

 

Yeah, Im sure switching the gauges wouldnt work... Especially if you have a LS or LT WITHOUT the Sports Package because their speedometers only go up to 120, the Sports Package or SS N/A gets 140 and the SS S/C gets 160. It would have been a great idea if it worked but I'm with dragontearz691 on this one, get some real nice ones made and have a very Unique, Custom look!

 

did you get them from a website?

i want somthing that go up to 200mph tho

 

why would you want a speedo that goes to 200 if your car doesn't??

 

cuz ive maxed mine out and i want to see how fast i can go. y the hell would i want one that goes to 200.

 

which model do you have?

 

If you've maxed out your speedo in your LS it either means a) you've disabled your speed limiter, b) the speed limiter is defective, or c) your stock speedometer is defective.

Even at that, why one that goes to 200? What the hell kind of tires do you have on your car that are speed rated to 200????

 

i have an ss but that dont really matter back on the subject of gauges.

 

I am currently working with Black Cat customs trying to create something based on the SS gauges yet unique to me. My question is this, Since the only real “performance” difference in the Sports package is 16’s with Pirellis, I am wondering If once I put Z rated tires and my new wheels (looking at lightweight 17’s, I plan on turboing my car and making it a aggressive daily driver with occasional drag use.!) on If I can have the dealership re-flash the ECU which would raise my speed limiter and I could use the 140 Speedo gauges. I definitely will be pushing close to that 140 limit when I am finished! What do you guys think?

 

Sorry, got you confused with the OP.

 

Why not go with the gauges out of a Cobalt LS or Lt, with performace package. They are white faced. (At least mine are!). At nite they almost look black faced thou.

 

He said in the first post he didn't like the white faced gauges. Although I tend to like them, the black gauges are hard to see sometimes, especially since there's no way to turn on the instrument panel lights unless the light sensor says it's dark enough.

 

put some tape over the light sensor
