The needles are from a Mazda3 (my previous vehicle). I had experimented with this before and one of my friends who also owns a 3 broke a gauge cluster doing something like this, so I had him send me the needles. They do need to be modified quite a bit for them to work properly though.
Thanks to lbz for the idea to paint the trim pieces black they look absolutely amazing!!!!

LOL about the chop! I didnt notice first time I looked, that they looked black...
For the member who asked, I actually did paint my trim pieces, used DupliColor Vinyl and Fabric, flat black.

Lulz at all the people not reading through the post and seeing it's a PS. That's a cool idea though.
