S7 Reverse Guages

Was looking around ebay for the Chrome gauge rings... and came across this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/97-00...Q5fAccessories
I think it would add a nice touch to the car, anyone have any experience with these, or other aftermarket gauge swaps? Compatibility, looks, actually working?

There's other threads about these if you search, but you have to be VERY careful installing these. I broke off the needle to my fuel gauge and it had to be replaced because of trying to install the S7s. I decided they weren't worth it and just installed blue LEDs.

Just keep in mind your new gauges are going OVER the old ones, and not replacing them. That's how I broke my fuel gauge.
