Hidden Antennas

[N A Rush]

I accidently revived an old thread titled http://www.svtperformance.com/foru...694-kind-like-wheres-waldo-but-backwards.html
I actually wanted to ask a couple follow-up question to the old thread…

I used a hidden antenna under the A pillar on the passengers side. I have no idea how well it gets a signal, but I'll find out soon enough I guess.

Eric,
Do you remember which antenna you used???
Are you happy with the mounting location and its reception???

I have a hidden antenna under my dash and my signal is better than it was with the stock piece

Clint,
Which antenna did you choose???
How did you mount yours???

Here is the antenna I was thinking of going with:

I actually have my stock antenna stuffed behind the pass side a pillar and get reception just fine

Thanks for finding this! On the next trip to the body shop, I was going to ask for a quote to remove the stck one, and french in an electric one, so it wouldn't be shown. Now it looks like I'll just relocate the original one, and have them fill in the hole and paint! You saved me some money! :beer:

I'd also be interested to know what the reception's like, especially AM stations...I'd like to do this to both cars.

This is the antenna that I used.

I mounted it at the top of the winshield.

You can barely see it.


To be honest, I really don't listen to the radio much. When I do it has good reception. It might fade under a bridge or something but nothing that would stop me from doing it again.

Another way to save some cash is to buy an Expy fender from the junkyard and have it painted instead of paying for the shaving body work.

The Autoloc was the other one I was looking at. We used a sim antenna for extended ranges on alarms we installed.

BTW, thanks for the input.

Between you and a couple Harley friends I posed the questions to today it seems like the most logical choice.

Damn, I wish I knew that a few months ago we I was having the front end repainted.

Sounds like a good alternative... did you have to shorten it any???
