You may recall that I have an ultra-sexy powered radio antenna that I got 
from Dennis Quella about 10-15 years ago.  It is about the size of a cigarette 
lighter, and has a 12v input, which I guess boosts the signal or something?  It 
is stuck to the inside of my windshield high up in the corner on the passenger 
side, rendering it virtually invisible.

I don't know if it works as well as a conventional antenna, but it seems to 
work just fine for me?

What most people do is create a small hole in the mesh engine screen on the 
driver's side, and attach the retractable antenna to the gas tank shield.  The 
antenna elevates through the engine screen, up past the decklid, and when 
lowered it's invisible.  Slick.
