Im getting green underglowI think. But I was looking for placement and there isn't much to mount it to in the front. What did you guys mount it to? And I'm thinking of going neons becauseI don't want bright spotsI want free flowing light. So any help? Suggestions?

i would explain.. but id say wait for addiction2bass's response. he knows everything you might want to know about underglow. and he'll also say dont go neons. but i'll let him explain
if you get the LED tubes, they'll come with brackets that you can use self tapping screws to attach to the bottom of your car, just up tucked away from everything and away from the exhaust. Theres places where you acn hide them, and the farther towards the middle of your car you put htem the better.
So is there such thing as too far in from the front?
Because its all plastic up front for like a good foot and a half.
I think i got the sides undercontrol and the back just the front I'm puzzled on placement.

back i mounted to the bottom of the trunk, like where the spare goes using self-tapping screws and the brackets that came with the tubes.
Front i actually cut a big piece of the plastic bumper out and moutned it to the steel bumper itself using the self tapper and brackets. I cut a piece off enough so the light shined through, the bulb is still hidden, and you cant see the hole i cut unless your under the car. Want a pic?
yeah, I took the plastic completely off my car and screwed the tube directly to the frame behind the grille... I'll see if I can't find some pics of it and get them up for youlater today...
the back tube, I just screwed it (self-tapping screws) directly to the spare tire thing in the back. You could also screw it to the frame between the back wheels. I did that when I had LED's, but I ended up switching back to neons and moved the tube up to the spare tire compartment.

This is a pretty good shot of where I mounted it... wow, this is a really old photo (sorry for the unpainted fenders )
Here's a shot of the front with my old R34 kit
Okay, so this is a pic of my old LEDs (RIP), but it shows exactly where I mounted the tube (watch out if you havea stock muffler... my tube was less than an inch away from my exhaust tip. '
And here's about the glow you can expect with neons on a stock-bodied civic.
Hope the pics help!
