I used the flexible 12" antenna from radio shack. I mounted to the aluminum that spans across the top of the trunk. Seems to work well and is out of site.

I used a flexible antenna from Radio Shack and mounted it to the top of the passenger foot box (i.e. the antenna is actually in the engine compartment). Once I put the body on, the antenna is not noticable and works fine.

I went w/ one of those Hidden Antennas. I located it in the trunk in reach but out of sight. It's 12V powered. They are made by a few people and can be found advertized in many car/hotrod magazines.

I bought an antenna and radio from walmart. I mounted the antenna on a 4"x1"x1" piece of aluminum angle that i pop riveted to the front pasenger foot box right behind the j-pipe. the antenna is out of site,its clean and simple and you don't have to have a long wire if you have a console or dash mounted radio.

I bought an electric attennea from Pep boys that is made for rear windows. I two face taped and siliconed the ends (for vibration purposes) on the bottom side of the body just in front of the windshield. It is located in the engine compartment but you can't see it. It is close to the radio, and the radio we used id remote with cd changer in the trunk. The radio is mounted verticle on the passenger side behind the dash. It kept the stock kit look and when you look at the car you can't tell there is ant radio. That atteanna is about 18" long. The only instructions for this unit is that it could not be mounted within 2" of metal, that is why I chose to glue it on the fiberglass body. jack

Any $6 antenna will work 95% as well as the amplified antennas. Just trap it between the bulb seal and body on the firewall and point it out toward the RF tire and put a glob of silicone on the tip. It will be totally hidden in the curve of the fender.
