Those are great. That is the same set that I have in my Solara.
The only problem with that is the needles. So that no green light peeks from any cracks, I removed all internal gauge bulbs. Now I can't see my needles.
I bought needle lights on Ebay. These were very expensive. I think $90 for a 5 piece set. These are no longer available on ebay.
I also made the mistake of removing the needles (necessary to install needle lights). When I did this, I sanded off the orange paint on the back of the needles. This gave the needles a gritty texture to them. Also, I'm not 100% on the needle reading accuracy.
After all of this, I don't think its worth all of the trouble.
Here is my remedy to my gauge cluster:

you can also use any kinda paint thinner or rubbing alcohol to remove the orange from the needles

You're right. Its not an official TRD product, but as far as the graphics...
It looks cool and the "TRD" is the same as it is here: http://www.trdusa.com/

Well, the 'R' is supposed to represent a bendy portion of a racetrack, so they succeeded in that sense.

I agree with quick the R is the same on the gauge as the R on the site.
