Default Anyone with a 6LE Gauge Overlay in "Sunset Orange Metallic" color?

I think I want to get a 6LE gauge overlay soon, and I noticed there is a color named Sunset Orange Metallic.. I want it to match my car as close as possible. The only pic I can find is the digital drawing. I was hoping I could find someone who has one of these gauges actually installed and could post up some pics so I can see the real thing. Thanks!

I agree, but I just want it really close. In the pic it looks a little too bright to match SOM truly. That's why I'm hoping the finished product will be slightly more matching

Gauge color are as close as can be printed, the artwork posted is not representative of the color, most of the artwork is for content proof only & to get a color to look right on screen is almost impossible considering everyones screen is a little differant. That being said, I would like to see some pics too lol.

Perfect. Now, my next question: any group purchases soon? I may get some offset color needles too, instead of orange needles on an orange gauge.

No more GPs on gauges, order what you want when you want.

I ordered an SOM one about 2 years ago in the first group purchase I think and never installed it yet
The color is pretty close, and that is holding it right up to the paint. Once installed in the dash it will probably look perfect. I'll try to remember to take a few pics of it uninstalled. Maybe one day I'll even take some pics of it installed

I believe we've sent McNord a SOM gas cover and he's working on it and I'm sure it'll be awesome!
