Ok. I have seen this companys guages in action on a 78 Trans Am and they worked out GREAT. Yes they are a vinyl decale and the hole in the face is big enough to place over the needle. The trick here is to follow the instructions and take your time. If you do this you will be happy with the results.

I bought these and installed them. If I were to give them a grade, I suppose it would be a "B."

They are not a perfect fit; there was some gap out the outside edge of the tach. If you are not REALLY careful and not line up the numbers perfectly with the numbers on the original guage, there will be some "ghosting" coming from the original gauges.

Ultimately, I did not care for the look of white gauges, and so removed them. The good news is that they come off without leaving any residue behind.

They are very much a YMMV mod.

Sorry about that! YMMV is "Net Speak" for "Your Mileage May Vary."
