Time for a change, New Gauge Faces installed

I got tired of the cream white faces in the instrument cluster so I changed mine to black...

Are they still accurate?
I never look at my speedometer, so I don't know if 80mph is at the top or not, plus the disbersment of the other speeds.

Totally the same readings. Everything is in the same place. Readings on the speedo are in 10 mph increments instead of 20. Blinker and traction control symbols are hidden as well. The spacing is the same as the originals.

Are these from a Crossfire?

Did you replace the whole cluster, or just the dials?

Replace just the faces. They are stuck to a clear piece of plastic that snaps in to the cluster. You have to pull the needles off so that the faces lift off. Also the dials for setting the time and reseting the trip odometer need to be pulled. Everything just snaps in to place. Once the new faces are in, then the needles are reinstalled and ajusted.
