You don't need alot of tape at all. Maybe two or three small pieces just to hold the field of the overlay snug to the existing gauge. I cut small squares from the strips provided and placed them on the existing gauge in areas where there wasn't any numbers or backlit trouble lights. the perimeter of the overlay will be held snug to the existing gauge by the cover plate. You will see what I mean when you get everything tore apart to do the install. A additional bit of advice, if you are even remotely considering installing the aluminum bezels this is the time to do it! LAPD has them on sale for $89.00 plus shipping and they look wicked installed with the white face overlays, especially at night. I highly recommend this give the gauges that extra final touch.
