Default Hiden Antenna?

When I do the body work on my quarter (getting rid of the big dent, hail) I want to shave off the antenna to get it a cleaner look.. is there anyway I can have it mounted in the quarter or on the bottom of the car?? (mind u i dont use it THAt much) my last car for the past 2 years hasnt had radio just mp3's

Maybe you could try running an antennae on the inside of the windshield. Like run it along the top alongside the headliner so its not visible.

hmm thats a damn good idea or in the hatch even... antenna wire is spliceable its just a wire so I should be able to make my own then just run a supre thin one..

Do the BitViper antenna mod. He uses an S2000 housing to make it much smaller and cleaner looking.

I am not really sure who makes it or anything about it. But my good friend bought a windshield with one in it. It was a tiny line going from top to bottom, almost unnoticeable. I will try to find out more about this. Just thought I would share, maybe some one else knows more about this.

SVT..Thanks for the mention

A windshield antenna is what your looking for ...the problem with the aftermarket ones is that they used to be kinda klunky....I havent seen one in years...

switch to one of the huge buggy ones that stick out of the middle of your trunk, the ones that make your car look like a bumper car.

They don't work worth crap!!! I have one on my Sonoma stuck to the inside of the rear window and it barely picks anything up. I shaved the antenna on it and my dad had this laying around the barn from his street rod he never had luck with it but never stuck it to the glass either. I stuck it to the glass and it's useless. I don't listen to FM anyways. I have XM and have to deal with the ugly black lump antenna.

Aint that the Truth, I hate radio, I want to hear music and all I get are talk shows and commercials.
