installing was pretty easy, just annoying taking out the gauges and putting them back into the dash. there is an guide thread somewhere on here
on either the speedo or tacho there is sometimes a small pin that holds the needle at 0, and i had to make a hole in my face plate which i was scared would wreck it but it worked out alrite but maybe u could get them to do that 4 u.
havnt painted the needles but that would be easy enough, i can see them very clear compared to the stock gauges because the face plates are very bright.
