Your manual will explain everything.

I would think you would just have to swap out the main insturment cluster and any relevant computers for their Canadian/metric counterparts. I don't know if the display on the trip gauge is "hard wired" for standard, and I'm guessing it is (being LCD), so that would have to go too.

It won't be cheap, of that I can assure you.

it IS relatively cheap. I swapped the 3 middle gauges to US display after I moved down here.

Just buy a stock one from the Canadian dealership, swap that with the US, and voila.

You'll see that the Canadian one (or the US one...can't remember) has an adapter in the back where the plug in is... That's what changes the computer measurements.

No. It says that you can switch between displays, not metrics.

Would you mind quantifying cheap? The main insturment assembly can't be inexpensive.

I like having everything in metric, except for MPG. I can't get into the L/per 100km crap. But then again I call it a Zed......ooops wrong thread.
