Default 6LE/McNord Gauges Pictures

Well last week I received my new gauges and they looked great! They were a present from my awesome girlfriend for my birthday... They just came a little late haha my birthday was January 12th... But worth the wait! Because they look awesome.. Thanks to my girlfriend for buying them for me, Mark for taking her money and McNord for doing all the work... haha Right Mark? lol I couldnt wait to install them, so today I did it! Im still kinda scared that I didnt get the needles back on where they are supposed to be.. I hope they are right.. lol

Well heres some pictures.. I will get some night pictures when it gets dark out.. And sorry for not having many angles installed.. But its cold as hell outside and my car is dirty, so I held off on some pictures for now..









My favorite....

Looks awesome. I don't know if it's just the pictures but it looks like you need to move the whole overlay about 1/8" over to the left?

Looks good, you should enlarge the mounting holes so that it doesn't 'bunch' up in the upper edges (left).

Or leave the overlay and move the entire car an 1/8th inch to the right but I think his idea might be easier

Yep they are like that.. There no moving it because it has the mouting spots that it can only go on one way..


But thanks everyone for the positive comments!

If it is bunching up just trim it. I had one do that and it can go on with no trimming but it is easier to trim. What happens is that top left tab gets pushed on by the trans-am bezel. Trim the edge and it is good to go...

Looks GREAT by the way! I love the red, considering it myself, looks great with the new style bezel I am having made as well...

I have the exact same gauges w/ bezel waiting to go on.. Glad to know that they will look awesome when i do. Question did you spray your gauges with the uv paint or just mount them as is. Only reason i ask is i couldnt find uv paint anywhere and considering just putting them on as is.

I didn't UV them.. I just figured since my windows are tinted 20% I wouldnt have a problem with alot of sun getting into the gauges...

Looks awesome man. I agree though, looks like it should move over to the left about an eight of an inch or so.

You had me wondering if something was off in the artwork but the layer you have is unmodified (no 200mph, OMG, etc...) and it was lined up in Dave's...

Oh, you have that same bubbling in the top left when I put mine on, that is where I was talking about trimming. Pull the Trans-Am bezel off and you'll see... Overlay has a tab to fit in the area and for some reason Trans-Am bezels are slightly different, causing it to bunch up. A little snip and you're good to go.

I uninstalled and reinstalled mine like 10 times trying to figure out what the hell it was
