Default 01 tibs w/ underbody neons

All right, so I've bought a StreetGlow Gold series kit. Got up under the car this last weekend, and there's absolutely NO WHERE to put the side tubes. I thought there'd be a space to 'hide 'em up under there'. Nope. It has that plastic cover over the entire under side of the car.
How did you install your side neons to protect from mishaps like stray rocks, or that stray automotive lift operator?
Thanks Ahead!!

I screwed mine adjacent to the metal lip on the sides....with the tube tucked right next to it. Works good, just need to be careful when jacking up the car.

I mounted mine along the frame about a foot in from the rocker panel. That way you don't have to worry about jacking the car up and if you go over a speed bump the frame will touch first.

So, did you mount it to the plastic underpinning cover thing then??

Or, does anyone suggest just mounting it to the hard plastic cover? (Gotta then beware of all bumps in the road.) Orrrrr.. what about cutting a hole in the plastic just big enough for the tube? Hmmmmmm......
