i had some neons but they were a pain in the ass. i hope you got leds cuz the regular ones will break buts, just get under there and look. it isn't to hard. you have side skirts so you shouldn't be able to see the bulbs.

I have had street glow on all of my cars, the best thing to do is when you lift the car, there is a guard, a little metal lip, right on the under side of the skirt, about 2 or 3 inches in that just sticks down, when I had my prof installed the garage installed the two side one's there and they put the rear on up in the rear bumper but it still showed down on the road, the front one however will just be your preference since it will have to be in the front bumper.

they wont break...unless dont know what your doing. what i did when i had mine was when installing the sides get down and look under the car on the side. youll see a small "lip" of metal that runs the length of the wheel base. feel/look behind that and youll see the floorboard is recessed...a perfect place to put your tubes. they wont be visible from the sides, and will also be greatly protected this way. as for the front tube, i made a bracket and attatched it to the radiator supports. notice not TO the radiator :) but anyhow, that put the tube far enough up to not bottom it out. for the rear i deilled holes in the uni body where the rear axle's attatch to. just put it right in the center. that way you cant bottom it out that way either...and it keeps you from being able to see the tube from the rear. i had my tubes on for 2 years, one of which i lived in the country so i had dirt/rock roads, crappy streets, etc and never had any sorta problem with them cracking, breaking, or chipping. when i sold them last fall i took a wet rag and cleaned off some dust...after that...they looked exactly like they did the day i got them out of the box. forgot who i sold them to, but he couldent believe what good of shape they were in. you just have to be smart. you can go off road rallying with them and expect them to hold up. they are tougher than most people think. here is a quick pic showing the rear and sides...and the front you can get some info. note, the car was on an incline and my camera was all the way on the ground. you could NOT see my tubes otherwise.
