You can solve the gauge sight issue by buying a nice AIM MXL dash and mount on the column... it just money... Haha

A link to figuring out horn and also to OZ951's great write up.

I have the worksbell quick release on my cup wheel which keeps the horn. Great bit of kit.

I drive around without the seat cushion which allows for better viewing of the gauge. It's perectly comfortable on the rump without the cushion.

The airbag light resistor is apparently hard to get right, mine still comes on

His write up is awesome, but not for this exact kit. I'm not sure what to do with the included spacer.

I didn't use the spacer. You can try it with or without if you want, very easy to change.

Edit to add, it goes between wheel and boss with longer bolts.

It looks as though it might simply be to position the wheel closer to the driver if needed.

So that sucked.. I hate working inside the car.

Wasn't sure what to do with the included green wire. Fashioned it into a connector for that horn bracket as it doesn't really come with anything.

Connected everything and went to test the horn. Nothing. I got one pathetic beep and nothing else. Not sure where the breakdown is but I ran out of time for today.
