2002 Canadian Speedomiter
Was looking at a 2002 Corvette and the car origionally came from Canada. 
Does anyone know what it would cost to change dash speedomiter back to MPH and what else would be different. Thanks

I think he wants the cluster changed from the Canadian marks to the American marks - 300 to 200 I believe. My car is from the States but I'd rather have the Canadian 300 speedo.
I've seen them for sale for $200 before.

You are correct. Did not know if you could just buy faceplate and it would be correct for the states.

Just get a set of white faceplates off any of the many Forum vendors. Should run about $100. Not hard to install, but will probably take at least one weekend.

I have an 01 C5Z that was exported to Canada originally... Along with the 300 speedo mine sports a block heater, HL automatically come up when it gets dark...
Love the speedo, have never plugged in the block heater, pulled the relay on the lights... I wouldn't change a thing! Except perhaps custom paint, Silver bezel rings...

Keep the 300 Speedo - great conversation piece. I was at a car show a couple of years ago and two teenagers were looking at my car. One said to his buddy," Holy %#&$, this thing can go 300 MPH." They were both most impressed. Needless to say I didn't enlighten them.

Pretty cool feature and one which should generate some comments.
