Yes its an overlay. and yes the speedo is off. I am not sure how to actually have that corrected.

As many peeps that dont like the new stang the 2010 answered many of the complaints of the previous style. I have read many complain about the 05-09's and Ford keeps answering with revisions that the people really wanted added or changed! Good job Ford!

because its much easier to keep your eyes on the road and use your peripheral vison to see when to shift when the tach is on the right

i think the bullitt has the tach on the right, but then of course the gauges say have bullitt markings on them....

joolander, I'm still thinking that you can take the cluster apart and simply swap the gauges side to side. If it bothered me enough, I'd give it a try, but it doesn't.

give it go and let us know how you make out!

It wont work because i think the gauges are actually an overlay. I took mine apart once but cant remember for sure. They are not true gauges though and cant be switched like that.
