as in just the guage overlay?... if so then your speedo and tach are way off and need to calibrated... if i just change the over lay, then i would have a 120 mph speedo with a 140 mph overlay.... not the best of ideas

i am right....
here's the link
http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/

search the part number there and you'll come up with it

there is no picture, but if you go on ebay you can get a part number there and search it on gm parts direct

If it was a COMPLETE cluster, the speed readings should be accurate.

However if its just a face from say Black Cat Customs, it wont work(well..it wont be accurate).

However, if your car tops out at 105, id say with your new cluster, take it out onto the interstate and top it out...see if it says 105(or 115 if you have the sport package).

the miles and carry over that the stored in the cars computer, not on the cluster it self... if that were the case, I would have a new guage and trade the car in... lol

that's kinda wierd. my ls can hit about 116.
