Got my Mcnord overlay today. I hope to install it this weekend with my LED's. Here some pics. It looks great. Nice quality. Can't wait to install. I will take a few pics of the TA bezel and the Camaro when installing it. Sorry for the pics best I can do for now the camera needs a charge.

That looks really really sweet! Please let me know when you get installed pics up, as I was thinking of that same thing for my silver SS. What color LEDs are you using?

Got mine today also. Grey checkered w/bezel and "Firehawk # 1428" on the tach side. Hopefully I'll get them in this week...if not then definately the weekend.
I'll post pics when it's in.

Thanks guys. I want to install it this weekend and post some pics up. I have everything I need to install it, just on the fence on rather I want to use my TA bezel or the Camaro one in the pic I took. If I use the Camaro it looks like I need to figure out a way to install a needle stop for the RPM tac. I sure I can figure something out

I talked to Mark about that and he said it has every indicator on it, so I believe it should have the turn signals..
But the gauges look great! I am in on this next group purchase and I can't wait!! I ordered the red ones...
I really wanna see them installed!!

Did u spray the UV Spray Paint on it before you installed it?
per INSTRUCTIONS:
"***FOR BEST RESULTS SPRAY TOP SURFACE OF OVERLAY WITH A UV SPRAY PAINT BEFORE INSTALLATION***"

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!

.the only question I have is will the blue leds work with this? reason i ask is because on a stock ta bezel blue leds dont show
