I haven't done it but these look to be pretty good instructions.

Just take your time....No rush.
I used latex gloves when gluing the aluminium bezels and handling the clear plastic lens cover just to reduce the possibility of leaving fingerprints.
Also, I used one of those compressed air cans to spray away any dust just before I snapped the lens back into place...Dust sucks...

Make sure that you wear gloves. It you leave the smallest print on the inside of the panel it will show up later. The fumes from the glue make the prints turn a nice pretty white...TRUST ME

Yup, latest set on my 03 Z. I've done 5 sets so far and it really is easy if you read and follow the instructions. I used VE's on-line tutorial.
Take a look at what you'll end up with.
Having a buddy and a very clean area to work in is helpful, as is a can of compressed air to blow away any dust ot lint from the cluster face and the inside of the lens.
Good luck
