I have been trying to get this question answered for several days now. I have a 99 mystique and want to put SVT indiglo Gauges in it. Will the speedometer be off because my speedometer gauge goes up to 130, and the SVT gauge goes up to 160. Can anyone tell me the answer to this question? Also can you post pictures of the SE gauges so I can have a comparison to the SVT gauges?

The speedo will not be off. If you have a tach, it should work. If you don't have a tach already, the tach in the SVT won't work, but if you check the Zetec forum, Drumnut posted and excellent how-to for a fix.

Will you explain to me how it will not be off? Cause it seems like common sense that it would be off.

I do have a tach already but the way, so I know the SVT tach and mine will not have a problem.

It won't be off...I don't know how or why, I just know that the SVT guages are dead-on speedwise on my Zetec.
BTW, are you replacing the entire front end for the SVT look, or having something fabricated, seeing as you have a Mystique...?
