changing the guage faces arent going to do crap for you. the calibration IN the speedo is what matters.

If you install them, your speedo will be SOOO wrong that it wont even be funny

I've never seen a 200 mph saleen gauge, but my car came with the 170 mph saleen cluster,and it hadthe SSP "In case of high speed pursuit use overdrive" sticker.
