Hell no!

I think it looks awsome!

The only thing I think I would have done differently is angle the lower gauges towards the driver more. It looks like they are pointed to the floor.

I like 'em a lot, but like wicked, I'm not a fan of the shift light, but to each their own!

I like it, it helps change the interior a little and make it more fun to drive than looking at the same boring stock gauges.
