Everyone should post some pics up of their mccord overlays. I want to get some but have no idea what to get i was thinking either red, silver, white, or checkered.

That was the second reason I went with these. I had been wanting to put blue led in my TA for while now. I did not like the look of the stock Camaro gauge face and all of the aftermarket ones for the TA had a glow effect or looked like crap. I knew the first time I saw these that I had to have one.

Got mine in on Monday...PURPLE 
They look great. They are about a shade lighter than the picture, but they look fantastic!
Hopefully, we'll work on getting them installed this weekend. Will post pics when it's done.

I am going to try to install tomorrow. Its dark when leave for work and dark when I get home. I have a carport but its been too cold and wet outside, I live on a river and the wind has not helped the last few days either. I want to take my time and do it right. I should have it installed tomorrow and will post pics as soon as I am done. I will follow with some more pics tomorrow night with the lights on.

I got mine today also, all and all they are really nice quality. Ive just been comparing them side by side with my NR white face gauges. The NR gauges have a bit smoother feel where the guage faces are, whereas the McNord ones are the same texture for the whole gauge, so I think the light reflecting off the NR set isnt quite as muddled as the McNord faces, but they still look really great.
My one suggestion is that if youre planning on using them with a TA Bezel, you might want to see if McNord can remove the shadow effect for you. With the bezel in place, the shadows are only visible in a few places, and so it looks more like the face is dirty, or has a smudge of grease on it, as opposed to it looking like a shadow. With the Bezel off, they look really nice with the shadow as it gives them a much more dynamic 3D look.
Im tempted to get in on the next GP and have a few more things done, and just sell my first one as is. But Ill have to see how that goes. But again, big thanks to McNord and to Mark for making this happen. Definitely a big asset for the community. Cheers!
