Question Invisible Antenna

Hey everybody. i have a problem that i hope someone in here can help with. my 98 T/A is in the shop getting new paint and some other apearance mods. one of them is removing the stock motorized antenna and covering the antenna hole. the problem is that i now need an antenna that is hidden. i know there are ones that go on the window, but i haven't been able to find one. i would even want to go with an antenna like the satelite radios have, but i need some help finding a system like this. any info or direction would be helpful on finding one of these or any other hidden antenna system. thanks for reading this post.

Metra makes an amplified antenna for boats that can be installed under tha dash that is very small. I put one in my friends car that has a shaved antenna. It works well, but not as good as stock.

We had a Metra in our RV. I think it cost like ~40 bucks. This was a couple years ago. It worked great when its by itself like in the upper cabinet, but when it got near the metal, it deflected. Just had to adjust where it was and once that was fixed it worked well.

Custom street rods use a hidden antenna to keep a clean look. Ive seen some from custom rod shops and catalogs. I know Dakota Digital makes one. Try parrautomotive.com or sachserodshop.com both sell a hidden antenna
