Underbody neon help!

what's up fellaz, I got a civic as well and well i've had underbody neons for a while, now i've reinstalled them after winter, but I always manage to break my front neon cuz my car dips too low off of driveways and in some parking lots...I know you could say i should take it slow...but its still ridiculous.
Someone here has to have found a way to put the front neon on without having it break everyother day... NOw remember I got a stock bumper with a kaminari lip. Please somebody provide some help and advice! thank you!

Heres what I did when I had my coupe with neons. Take the front bumper off. Mount the tube to the frame behind the bumper. I use thick wire to hold the clamps on that the tube snapped onto. There you go. If you have a good kit thats brite the light will shine from the top grill, bottom grill, and through the holes on the bottom of the bumper. Do the same thing for the back bumper. The only different thing I did was that I cut out sections on my back bumper so the light would shine though good. I hope this help.

Go to www.streetglow.com/site/auto.htm you can find all you want on there. I personally wouldn’t buy anything but streetglow... at least for underbody. Even though it’s pricy, no one else compares.

Hold up though, how would the neon shine from under? the bumper doesnt' really have an opening at the bottom? and also bottom grill? i didnt know our cars had a bottom grill the only grill i know of is that black grill that came stock with the car. what would be the bottom holes? and ya I got a good kit I have the street glow gold series neo-blue, so it should shine through... just wanting some clarification.

I belive that it is reffered to the bottom grill as oppose to the grill thing where the honda logo is mounted... right below the hood and above the bumper.
