(I probably wouldn't label "70" though.) Then maybe put minor tick marks at the other major increments. The idea is, for me, I only look at the speedometer to see if I'm speeding. Most speed limits around here are "on the 5's" like I shown above.

For actual speed I use a GPS. It's more accurate anyway.

Except for the difference in personal preference, it looks very nice.

naw man, on a car that is brand new or well taken care of, the speed on the dial is the most accurate u can get and should always go by. yes once a car gets old it gets a bit off wack but it can be readjusted. i found at slower speeds my GPS is about 6-7 km/h off, and at higher speeds (about 110, 120km/h) its only about 3km/h off, never had it the same except at zero, lol
