Change gauges

Hey guys sorry if this is in the wrong place . I wasnt really sure where to post this. Anyways i got my balt about a year ago from a dealer that bought it from a guy in canada. I didnt really care at first but now the kmph are really starting to bother me and im tired of looking at the gps for mph. Can i just swap faceplates with one of those custom ones or do i have to get a whole new cluster? thanks

You possibly might be able to swap faceplates if the dealer can reprogram the speedometer from KPH to MPH. Honestly, it might just be easier to get a new IPC and have it done that way instead.

A MPH cluster should only cost about $100 unless you have a base in which I'll sell you mine for $10 + shipping.

I have a 08-10 SS cluster I'll sell for $130 shipped. Not sure if it'll work on your car though.

he cannot use an 08-10 cluster in his 06.

OP - you need a 2005-2006 CLuster for your Driver Information Center to work. I bought my 06 SC cluster off Ebay for $60 a few years ago. check over there.
