How does it attach to the underneath? If its not screwing it in then I would say the bottom of the fuel tank, or on the back side of the bumper, if it screws in then screw it into the the rear metal bumper support facing down.

yeah thanx imma go into the gas tank :beatentodeath:
Most kits I have seen attach with screws and brackets so Please for the love of god don't put the screws into the gas tank find another place to drill the holes. Like the bumper support brackets or something.
 
ROFL Im not going into the gas tank ROFL Plus its in the middle of the car. I was thinking of going it the spare tire holder. But then you might see the tube it self. So i dont know ill stick it somewhere.
 
No, please, stick it in the gas tank and make a vid of it when you try it out. LOL LOL LOL

I'm sorry, that's just too damn funny for me! Thanks, that made my night better.

Hope you get it lookin' great!
 
Personally, I have always loved properly done underglows, maybe it is the ricer in me, eh who knows. Anyway, definately look at the rear bumper support, it'd make for a great place. What color did you get by the way?
 
I have seen alot of cars lately when trying to hide their underglows and still get alot of color out of them. Place them up inside your rear bumper, mounted with some kind of tape or mounted up alittle ways. As long as you don't let the bulbs be seen from outside the car it will look alright. To get more glow from them get some dynamat/hood heat shielding/duct wrap, Anything that has metallic coating on it that looks like tin foil and place it inside your rear bumper, this will reflect the color and give you alot more glow.
 
Why did you list the mods to your car? Just tuck them away under the bumper support. Im sure alot of people would say shove those neons up your ass but some look good ***some***
 
I put mine on the rear bumper supports, and it don't look too great. Its way too visible. I can see the whole bulb. Definately try the spare tire compartment. and also do what zachakagoat said, get something that reflects light, it'll look a lot better.
 
I like underglow... but not on my Eclipse. I got some for xmas last year when I got the car. I used the spare tire compartment (totally visible)... unfortunately it doesnt seem like there is a real good spot in the back, at least without a bodykit. Be sure to post some pics when you get it all done.
