AH where were these when I got my overlay??? I definitely would have gone with an entirely different color scheme if I had known I could change the needles as well. Nice product though, Im sure you will get a lot of orders.

How hard is this to do? I forsee pulling the needle then getting it on in the wrong spot and making the gauge not accurate anymore... at least, I know that's the problem I'd have 
The white needle would glow the color of the LEDs behind it, right? So I theoretically could have white needles on my gauge, but then have glowing green needles when my lights are on?

Look closely at the pics of how intricate the design has to be to work (down to the weight of the needle for balance). This things weren't cheap to get made at all.
A quick google shopping search on gauge needles (for other vehicles, there aren't any out there for our cars) will show you our price is the same for the cheapest and $30 less than average...

I'm wondering how that Edelbrock cluster has the speedometer needle sitting nicely at 0 with the lens off. Mine just hangs straight down without the lens.

Given the fact that they have 6 months of R&D in these, and numerous trial runs, and how they have to be the perfect weight and balance to work right, the price is understandable. A lot more goes into stuff like this than you may think.
