I was the prototyper, I sent them my gauge cluster. They made the overlays, installed them and the needles.
I only paid for the needles.
He said install was easy. Like installing small window tint.
The needles look a bit more involved, small wires. Install on your cluster is $10 (needles), if you can do without your gauges for a few days.
By the way, I found out the hard way, you CAN"T drive your car without the instrument cluster installed. The alternator doesn't charge your battery.
Damn, smart *** Japanese!LOL

---No the number are the stock numbers, they are cut outs on the overlays.

---I haven't had a problem reading the gauges in the day, unlike I used to have reading them at night.

If it's a concern to you, you couold just get the needles and no overlays.
The overlays do make it hard to see the idiot lights, except the low fuel light seems to be brighter, I can see it easy.
At night, all the lights are viewable.

The needles light up with the lights on, (the way I wired them)
