Has anyone ever seen this or installed this?

It looks pretty cool for aesthetic appeal from the stock gauges.

How hard would it be to install the gauges?

I mean it has some details on how its powered, but it says "experienced installers"...could it be the fact that you can wire it into the fuse box make it an "experienced installers" kind of job?

The hardest part of this install is keeping track of where all the little screws go as you disassemble all of the dash. I did it on my GF's civic, get a couple of plastic bags to help you not loose the screws. Then its not that difficult. make a not of where each needle sits so the calibration wont be off afterwards on your gauges. Then do a gauge test to make sure it all works. Hold in your odometer button while switching the ignition to Accesory mode-all of the idiot lights and gauges will come on.

I put these on the dont line up to well and you have either take the needles off or sand/grind the openings a little to allow them to fit over. I didnt take my needles off didnt know how to, needless to say my rpm needle was stuck so I had to sand the openings. Well it fits now looks ok.
