Yup, there easy as hell to take apart. like 10 screws your in, guages all pop out together on the backing.

Redo the gauges however you want, and you could even paint the surrounds how you wanted!! LOL

BOOM CUSTOM GAUGES!

Your welcome lol

Yes, they make custom faces and gauges calibrated to match. I'm pretty sure they would make a mph gauge. However it is pricey.

You can make your own by scanning the OEM one and photoshopping it. Then take it to a print shop and getting it printed, or a machine shop and getting it CNC routed on to sheet metal or aluminium. Then paint it to what you want. I myself would get the CNC'd face and custom paint it before being routed.
