Alright! It's gonna look awesome!! I've got an idea. In attempt to cover the slit as much as possible. Cut the slit right under the idle position for the tech., and the "0" mph position for the speedo. This way when you are at a stop or idleing, you won't see the slit, I think it'll work. Start the car, eye-ball the idle RPM and cut the slit right underneith it. Approximate the slit to the middle of the hole, so you get a better covering of the slit. I think it'll work! Show us some pics of it in your car!! Oh, does it come with a dimmer light switch or even a color changing switch. Thanks and good luck!!

Most likely you will either have to cut a small slit on the gauges themselves or cut the needle shorter (possibly with a Dremel??)like I mentioned because the "tail" end of the needles are way too long (at least for the speedometer and tachometer). Good luck and please do post pics of them turned on. Big pictures!!!
