self tapping screw along the sides where the undercoating spray is. thats a good spot. and the rear to around where the spare tire ends from under the car. just put any kinda sealant on the screw threads and then screw them in so water doesnt' get in. i had a set a while back but it looked to "ricey" so now i'm working on a whelen strobe kit in white 90 watt bulbs that i will mount one in each headlight where my city light is supposed to be (i have euro headlights) and on in each tailight!
p.s. if your gonna do the underbody kit, put convulsive tubing or shrink wrap or something over all the wires to strenghten them cuz i went to a touchless car wash once and the power of the underbody cleaning spray actually cut the wire and i have to re-sauter it.

By spare tire ends, do you mean all the way in the back under the bumper, or on that lump next ot the muffler?
What about the front?
Thanks

make sure you can only see the glow and not the actual tube itself

if you look under the rear of your car. mount the rear tube in the gap between the spare tire well and the rear bumper. the gap is about the width of your hand. for the front you have 2 options...
1. mount it to the underbody panel (encapsulation panel) all the way at the front so the front bumper blocks the view and you cannot see the tube. that is what i originally did. then i used a connector with the wires so when i have to change my oil and take down the panel, it was just a release of a connector and that's it. this shinned very very bright mounted like this.
2. mount the tube behind the bumper in the gaps where the foglights would go and the bumper grill so it shines through the bumper. never tries this but it's an idea. i like #1 better though.

just make sure you don't do blue. That's illegal, only cops can have blue lights.
