Default New gauge cluster overlay

Here is a picture of my uninstalled custom overlay. The company did a great job, and is superior quality. 100% custom - look closely, you'll see. The silver matches the Auto Meter Ultra-Lites perfectly.

Sounds like our customer service, lol. We've been making them for about 3 years now. 100% custom as well. Same quality as OEM too.

Yes, installing LED's also. @6LE you guys don't offer a silver that comes anywhere close to the Auto Meter Ultra Lites...my primary reason for going elsewhere. I'm sure you're a great company too - just strange that seeing as how popular silver is - you don't offer it. This overlay looks 100% stock with the OEM fonts. Over-sized tach numbers.

I believe we actually can't match the ultra lights but all the other Auto Meter gauges we can. Other brands of gauges we match as the come out. but we even matched SOM for those colored cars. There almost nothing we can't do. We even did a spun aluminum "looking" overlay for a guy.

Yours look good. LED's should make them pop!

Nope. We can't match the Ultra Lights. They use a metalic in a vinyl and we don't use vinyl...

They sure do. We just changed that, rather than making everyone pay to make every change. Now all changes are covered. And you can get as wild and creative as you'd like.

How about instead of 6LE taking over this thread you start a different one..? Not trying to be a dick - just wanted to show the custom color matched overlay (that is not vinyl) that this company did for me. 6LE does not offer a silver that matches or comes close to the Ultra Lites...which is why I went with this particular company, I'm sure 6LE does nice work - just didn't have what I wanted...I didn't start this thread with intentions of 6LE using it as a sales pitch...
