eBay aftermarket gauge cluster?

I'm thinking of purchasing this gauge cluster. Is this a good quality gauge cluster (only $20.00, seems kind of cheap), and will it be easy to install? I have never installed gauges before. Thanks.

Opps, just now noticed that the product is only composed of stickers ("overlays") and not the gauges themselves. But still... is this not a good deal?

i bought those, they aren't bad, but it is hard to take the needles off without breaking them, and harder to get them back on right, but they look good, definitely worth it.

Thanks for responding, It seems a little more difficult than what I expected, so I think I'll pass on it right now.

www.classicindutries.com (or something very similar) has a replacement guage cluster for 82 to 91. I believe they use autometer guages. It is supposed to plug right in. Its $700!

dakota digital has a all digital replacement w/ a similar cost.

They look cool, but they are pricey.

Yea... that was the reason i had to buy my new 145mph Speedo....after taking the needle off 7 times and going through 3 speedos i have arrived at the best way to remove the speedo needle... however the tach oil gas and volt are up for grabs. i posted a thread on it a while ago easy for soemone to search and find out heres the link:
