Do you mean the 3rd brake light overlay like this:: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...oriesIf so, I thought a couple people had made their own. I remember one person made a shark overlay image.

I know a few people have changed their gauge lighting colors but I don't know of anyone who created a new gauge template.

I think mac99d had a thread on a company that did custom graphics for the gauge cluster...not sure if that's what you want though. Check with him to see if he knows more about it.

Then checked out the site and pics and it was nice, but my gut instinct and initial response was that it was just NOT for the Vibe. Again not hatin on the product, but I feel it's outta place on the Vibe.

yeah wasn't it just flames or something like that? Guess it just depends on the person and what they have going on with their Vibe. If it was something evil, I would've jumped on it.AFA the custom glow, swapping the LEDs will be your best bet on getting a custom glow. I have a how to in my sig. You could always play around with dif combination till you find out what works best for you or just be totally funky.
