Mph to km/h conversion

i have a 1997 honda accord lx from the states.. the speedometer is in mph obviously and i was wondering if its possible to change the plastic piece so i could remove the american one and put in one thats in km/h.. if anyone knows if and where i can get this plz let me know.. and btw its a 5spd tranny so it doesn't display the park, reverse, neutral etc gears on it..

u just have to get a new gauge cluster from around here anywhere. u can pick one up at any big junk yard, its easy to install, i can give u instuctions if u need it.

there may be other ways but that would be my suggestion.

yes you can change the face but when u do that the odometer will still count in miles... so ur better off changin the whole cluster... it isnt the expensive.
