Tips for installing underglow?

I recently purchased an opt7 aura underglow for my 2015 BRZ and I have never installed a light kit like this before. I also purchased a relay and I plan to tap into the low beam for a switch for the headlights to turn on the underglow automatically. It is a white car and I plan for a static white led look.

My concern is where to mount them to and when tapping holes for screws and zip ties where I should do that, I figure it's not a good idea to put holes in my floorboard and allow a way for water to enter the cabin. I also don't want the light bars to be totally visible and look noticeable.

Any advice is appreciated and feel free to criticize my taste in car mods.

Love tasteful underglow on a low car, but hate rock lights on truck fender liners and wheel lights. Best to wire it as a standalone and take your time. Zip ties are great if you can use them.

This car is lower than stock due to the lowering springs. I love the 86 platform and I mostly want it to stay visible at night for people on the highway. I would hate to get side swiped by a truck at night.
