http://www.shopmavarine.com/store/undercar.htmlIt's the fifth one down...the LED with color changing. But alas..I've spent my money on stereo first..that will have to wait..

I want a red underbody kit- But in Mi we have the problem of real cold winters and high snow falls so there is a possibility of them cracking and breaking so I dont know if I want to get one and have to take it off and put it back on-

Check out the Streetglow stuff.
http://www.streetglow.com I don't quite remember what the conditions are, but they'll replace them if the tubes are cracked. (As long as they're properly installed.) They say cold won't hurt them, they'll just take a little longer to start up than in warm temperatures.The LED Stuff I posted about shouldn't have any problems with cold whatsoever.

Thanks thats good to know- I will look into it- I dont plan on using them too much or at all in cold Weather so it might work out- I was looking into the LED's as well- I will prolly get something for next summer-

This is the first car I have owned without having neons under the dash- Only because I LOVE blue neons for under the dash and it would not look good with the red lights in the Vibe---

I pulled the blue stuff out from my last car and will put it back into the Vibe. Though the way I did it before, I have a little relay box with switches (the box is seperated..will go under the driver seat) that will support two independant neon systems. So I'll have the blue on one switch...get reds for the other switch..and either run blue, red, or whatever would result with both

Ok, here are some pics of mine. Blue under Shadow. Sorry that they are a little blurry, when I took them I hadn't mastered my digicam at the time.

What I mesnt was the blue lights would not look right under the dash with the red interior lights from the gauges and cd player. In my opinion- I am going with a red under body kit so I might go for a red interior kit as well- Still undecided

No you are right that does not look bad- I would just need to install my eclipse cd player and I would be good to go- We will see how the $ situation starts to work out - And that might be next- thanks for the pic

How weird is that...You live in Michigan and have an Abyss Vibe. I live in CLinton Twp. Mi and i have an abyss vibe as well. I have a red neon bass light that i throw into the middle counsil when i cruise. It lights up the interrior perfectly. I like neons because normally around here it lets people know that you are willing to play around (race) well not really but when ever i see neons the people normally like to play around. I am getting a red one. So tell me was it hard to install whoever has one????? -=Paul=-

It depends on your State laws- Here in Michigan you can not drive with the lights on at any time- But if you are parked any color is legal- I have heard different things on interior neons- I heard that Blue and red are illegal anytime- but other colors are legal if they are below shoulder length- To be sure you would have to do some reaseacher or contact the state police

In Michigan (to add to mwebb's post) you cannot have red, blue, or yellow neons anywhere. They some how resemble emergency lights to the idiotic citezens of michigan(not all of them by the way, you know what people I am talking about). They should have only banned the flashing neons instead of all kinds. So, thats that -=Paul=-
