Changing odometer (not trying to be illegal)
i have a 98 v6 firebird and i am thinking about buying a camaro gauge cluster (no red film) so that i can change the color to blue leds. The only problem is that my car only has 20,000 miles on it. If i change the cluster is that going to give me whatever the other cars mileage was. I noticed on InfiniteReality's thread that it is possible to take the odometer out of the car. Can I swap the two when I change the gauges so that I keep my mileage?

also I could have sworn that pro car parts used to have white faced gauges that would light up blue but I cant find them anymore. All I see are the ones with the 150 speedp, I need the 120 speedo.

wish i had known of the conversion earlier. altough much more labor intensive, my method got the job done and it came out really good. since i had the white overlays for my 99 T/A, i took out the dremel and using the etching tool cut out each line of all 6 gauges. it took a few hours but looks great and just requires a steady hand and a good eye. im still debating whether or not i will cut out each Number as well as thy MPH/RPM lettering since im not sure how clean they would come out. good luck with wichever route you take
