Silver Mcnord gauge installed Well I did not get started until it was dark out. I could only take a pic of the TA bezel out of the car. If you use a TA bezel you would have to make hole in the overlay that would be visable on the Camaro gauge. I still need to turn my leds some to get rid of the hot spots. This is the best I could do for now. I will post up some day pics since my flash makes it so you cant see the gauge at night. Enjoy for now and Thanks to 6LE and Mcnord. These look great. All of the lights illuminate the same as stock and look much better with up to date font.

I still have to adjust the leds. Looks great in person. I did not notice the light bleeding through until you mentioned it the camera really pics it up, I cant see it with my own eyes. I am sure there is way to block it off. These peel off and stick back perfect. Even the stock overlay is in one piece and could be stuck back on easily. I will take some daytime pics in the AM and adjust the LEDs tomorrow.

Looks awesome.. But the whole seeing through the gauges is kinda scaring me.. I am in on this next gp and I really hope they fix that or maybe figure out a way to fix it..

If it is not fixed I think PhamntomZero is has a good Idea of blocking out the light bleeding through. When I installed mine you can peel and repeel the overlay off, same with the stock (at least on mine). Could always use an exacto knife thin vinyl and put it between the area bleeding through. I don't notice it as bad in person.

Here is the day pic of the gauge. I need to find some needle stops for the MPH and the RPM. I am going to turn my LED's tonight to get rid of the dead spots.

^^^ You have to make a hole toward the center of the overlay to use the TA bezel because of the one of the mounting points.
^^ The cardboard is some TV's for Christmas. Anything next to cardboard looks great
.
^I bought it from 6littereater. Look for him and the link to his next GP is in his sig.

Thanks I may still use the TA bezel. Have not made up my mind. If I can't find any needle stops then I will be using the TA bezel. I don't get a chance to drive TA much.
