Default Gauges

I noticed that the pictures of the gauges (speedometer, RPM) on this website have the numbers and needle backwards. Why is that? Is it just because they were transfeered from the Nissan CD to the website and got turned around?

It will defintely be more fun that way!

That is ridiculous that they chose to use photoshop to make the car look LHD rather than just taking a new picture.

I have a friend who used to have a 911 - he turned the gauges in them so when the needle was at 0 mph, it was pointing straight down to the ground - he said he liked it better that way!

Personally I like the look of the needles point down but its more complicated than just turning it. All the numbers would be facing the wrong way (hard to read). Otherwise I guess you could try to recalibrate the needles and get new gauge faces made.

My needles are rarely at 0 and tend to be pegged at the other extreme.
