Yes, I’ve used them.
They are nice looking when installed, but you are going to have some problems installing the tach and probably the small gauges. We installed them on the gauges for a customer about two years ago. He was not able to get them on and was scared he would mess up his gauges.
The needles will need to be removed to install these. Doing this will not be a problem, but making sure they are put on in the correct place is hard if you do not have bench equipment to use for simulation and calibration. You can do this by plugging up the gauges and turning on the key when you install the needles. You will need to pay real close attention to the position of the fuel gauge before you remove and then re-install the needle.
For example, when you remove the tach needle you must get it back in the exact position it was removed in. The only way to be sure that it is correct is to power the tach up with no RPM’s. The same will go for the small gauges.
Unless these white out kits have changed in the past two years these are some issue's I saw with regular people installing them.

I put them on mine, didn't remove the needles, should have paiinted them black though. THey are easy to install, hardest part is getting the gauges out and in

I have them on mine. No pics though (car in hibernation). I didn't think they were too bad to install. If I remember correctly the clock was the toughest one....not sure. Mine look just like those posted here. Yes, I would do them again.

Did my set last winter, clock needles were the only ones I removed.
Bought two sets of overlays, in case I screwed one up. First face I tried got scraped since it did not lay right, but after that trial the rest were easy.
