For the needles don't fret guys.. it isnt too hard at all to re-align them.

FUEL- Digi cam and place back
TEMP- if your car's properly working after the usual warm up place is smack dab verticle
RPM- spring loaded against the rest pin. Remove it and digi cam its possition where it naturaly lies. Then go drive around with the plastic shield off and adjust it depending on the idle. The simplest adjust was to easily redline it and make sure it matches.
SPEED: spring loaded against the rest pin. Remove it and digi cam its possition where it naturaly lies. Determine it's speed at the redline cut off then make sure u match that with it's new placement. Tends to be easier doing a 0-60 run since we are infamous for just missing 60. Just a few easy checks. Then some pacing with another car while on a cell call with that person can do wonders.

I have taken off the needles and am 100% sure they are perfectly accurate. A few tests I did to verify later on was with my xcal 2 was to set the idle to something odd and see how accurately the needles displayed it. And then raised the redline and made sure I reached 60 in second. All the speeding warning signs have my speed dead on as well.
