Question Underbody + Interior White LEDs?

I've got an 03 silver IS300 and i'm considering putting some white underbody and interior White LEDs on it. As a teenager I think it would look pretty sick, but I don't want it to look tacky or cheap. What do you think? Oh yeah, I don't have any means of jacking up my car to get the lights installed, ideally I would like to do them myself, but will a shop install them for me? Do I have to go out and buy some heavy duty jacks to get one side of my car up, mount the lights, then do the other side? Also, anyone know a website where I could buy a modest looking spoiler that would fit into the existing holes where the old spoiler would have been? My car has been sitting in the Arizona sun during the summer before I had it and it looks terribly faded and cracked.

I'm also a teenager and I own an IS300, I wouldn't do anything, I haven't to mine I brought it because I like the way it is, Just my opinion.
In answer to your questions, I think you will find it hard to find a different style spoiler that will fit in the holes of the standard spoiler, and you should be able to use the jack that came with the car, if you need to get the whole side up jack up 1 corner, put building bricks stacked up and let the side rest on the bricks and jack up the other corner and do similar.

You gotta do whatever you like man, it is YOUR car, but I'm sure the general consensus will be no to the underbody lights. I'm 18, and if I saw your car driving down the street with streetglow, I'd laugh and call you a ricer..

please no underglow, but ^ is a good solution if you must add obnoxious lights to your car
