Where have you hid your antenna?

Does anyone know if there is a power antenna that will fit the factory hole??

 

so what do you all think of horizontally behind the grille in front of the radiator. it will hide nicely cuz it is black like the grille and radiator. we don't listen to much AM radio. if todd isn't blaring tull through the cd player it will be almost always FM. thanks!

 

I think that might be a little low to be really effective.
They do sell one that mounts around the perimeter of the windshield and works quite well. Installation is kind of a pain in the butt, but it's nice and subtle if you do it right.

 

Without getting into a long discourse about how radio waves work, anytime you place an antenna in front of another metal object (like a radiator support) it tends to block reception from that direction. The best place to mount an antenna is as high as possible, vertically polarized, in the clear, and with a good ground plane. If you don't want one showing on the car, I'd vote along with courier11sec and go for the glass mounted option.
