Default white mcnord/ 6le overlay installed

got this installed last nite. other then the needles install was pretty easy, getting them back in there correct position is a diffrent story.. there still a little of but they will work for now.. i also installed the T/A bezel to go along with it.. the quality is great. i do have a problem though. i put blue led's prior to the install w/stock overlay and it was bright blue the way i wanted it, matches the rest of the blue led's in the hvac, light switch, etc.. but when i put the new overlay on. the gauges and rest of the lights on the cluster dont shine close to the stock overlay. also with my the z28 emblem the 'Z' is not blue at all which i dont like i thought the 'Z' would shine blue also. you can see some blue shining through but not like the '28'. also the holes for the needles were not perfectly lined up but that dindnt pose a problem.. pics will show what im talking about..

anyways enjoy.

Your gauges are the ****!!! The fact that they're reversed looks like you've got a 3-d effect going on. Your reversed lit "Z" looks like a lit up version of the C6 style emblems...like this:




If the Z was lit up it might take away from the look. I personally think it looks good the way it is.....also remember, during the day is when you'd/everyone would REALLY enjoy the gauges...like at car shows or at local hang outs.

That's my $.02.

I think "spdkilz" also has a set in white...and his looks bad *** too!

Looks awesome! If they would make these where the red on the tick marks on the tach would start at 6.5k it would be neat.

Man i wouldn't worry about how the Z lights up. I think it looks great, kind of has a 3-D look to it
