you will have to take it to the dealer and have it recalibrated.

get a gt gauge cluster and have it recalibrated.you can't just put a face on the cluster and it read right. It will have to be put on a machine to be done right. And even if you get a new cluster the pats system in the cluster will have to be reprogrammed to match your key if you have a 99-04.

I see that you have a 97. You will need to get a -new speedo gear to correct your gauges. 94-98 rely on the transmission to get a reading on the speed. 99-04 is done through the CPU

I don't understang why you would want gauges that read higher than the car is capable of.

Anyways those gauges aren't too bad but if you want my opinion you should get gauges you like that have the correct reading for your car. They make some pretty cool ones I installed flame gauges in my old truck.(I admit they were a bit ricey but looked AMAZING at night).

Just stay true to your car...If it goes 120 keep it that way...Just my .02
