Installing Underglow.. HELP!!
You shouldn't flame someone for something THEY want to do to THEIR car.
As long as you hide the tubes well and pick a decent color combo( if you're not getting the multi-colored) I think they will look fine. I've heard zip ties work and I'm sure self tapping screws work as well if you don't put them through something important

We recently installed underglow on 2 SS's. Hopefully one of them will chime in, as I didn't do the actual LED placement. As far as the wires, all the LEDs connected to a central box under the hood. Then the control box we mounted in the side door where the trunk button is on the Drivers side. To get thru the firewall you can either cut a hole in the steering boot or next to the boot there is a rubber plug that you can popout. We then wired it to a fuse on the side consol, to the right of the shifter under the glovebox.
I know placing the underglow is tricky in the front do to the lip and trying to get a good spot for it to shine down on. I remember we had to drill holes underneath on the side and used wire ties to zip them up in there.

Have fun with them, but don't lower your car. You may end up dragging them to you're next stop.
I've gone thru 2 sets now. I'm over them. The LED's arent that good anyways, and I had a 500.00 set w/ remote.

the sides really dont matter...the ground effects will hide the tubes perfectly...the rear...pick a spot. I drilled small pilot holes on the flat part of the bottom of the trunk and used the little mounting brackets. that will work for there and the sides. the front...i clipped mine to the top of the black plastic flap...worked good, lit up the whole intercooler/lower grill area. I'll take some pics tomorrow and show you...i have white on my silver SS/SC. After you do about 4 kits you get so fast and used to it that its not even funny...

Ditto....
I have the multi color L.E.D.'s as well. I had them on my F-150 for 3 years, now they are on my SS/SC. I used car ramps on the back (cause the front bumper was too low to get up on the ramps going forward). I drilled holes in the metal that comes down about 2 inches where the side sheet metal panel meets the botton sheet metal panel. Then I zip tied them to hold them but not too tight. I them drilled a hole through the floor boards to put the electrical inside and sealed the hole with a hot glue gun. My controller sits between my drivers seat and the center console down by the eBrake. It's prety much hidden unless you look right at it. I'll post pics next time I make it to the store to buy batteries for my camera lol.

I took the center counsole apart. Hooked my power up to the cigarette lighter positive and grounded the negative by taking one of the bolts that are under the emergency brake off then crimped any eye connector and rebolted the bolt.
i installed mine in about 45 min. but i've installed them for years on my clubs cars so im pretty familiar with the work. i ran the switch threw the firewall. there is already a rubber boot in the wall that you can use as the routing path. the wires for the bulbs i have running under the carrage with the supplied wire mounting brakets and self tapped the screws into the underside. I put them in places that wernt apart of the floor board so that i didnt go into the floor. other then that is pretty simple, well for me anyway. i've had mine on my car for over a year now, about 2 months after i got the car.
