if you hide all the tubes it'll be good, but in general neons are ricey, but i guess i can give some advice
wire all teh switches into the fuse box on the second terminal of the fuse, that way each of the switches are fused.
For my underbody neon, my front tube i ran the wire through the engine bay (easy to hide), so the rear i ran it up into the spare tire space and then right along my amp power wire, and for the sides i ran the wires over to the side of the car, behind the side skirts and then up through the door jams, you cant see them at all.
For under the seats, do you mean under the dash? For those, just zip tie them up there and you're gonna go, real easy to hide too.

+3. LEDs outside, and cold cathode inside. LOVE RICE ! You like lights? Youll love my project when Im finished with it. Ill post some pics when Im done. I am aiming towards much the same settup except with wheel well lights as well, and a special feature in my trunk. Im getting a custom boot install done with all the cold cathodes in there and the thing with the cup holders, well Im doing it in the boot walls with bottles of metho for my fire stick, and my fire stick mounted too. And I am currently considering hooking up some UVs inside to make my feature roof stand out. Im getting it recarpeted in black with a white tribal or celtic pattern on it that will glow like mad under UVs. And I might go UV on the number plates cause ours are black with white writing.

+4 for Oznium.com, any lighting i need (or my friends need), thats where i go. Cold cathodes, flexible LED strips, LED switches, prewired LEDs, i've got al those from Oznium and they are the best about refunding/replacing too
