I am planning on putting repeater lights on my fenders like the guys overseas get on there KJs stock. That means I lose my antenna...which I dont like being on the fender anyways. Looking for recomendations on hidden antennas.
This looked like it got decent reviews. I live in a metro area. Currently I have a mini antenna and the reception sucks

Thought id update this since a lot of people viewed it but no one replied. Maybe it will help someone. I ended up buying the Hirschmann hidden antenna. http://products.hirschmann-car.com/Sepi ... 62_406_407
Installed it tonight. You need an antenna adapter to go from male to female if your using it on the stock head unit. This antenna is completely hidden. I routed it behind the glove box and up through the pillar and into the headliner. Initial test is very good. Clean reception with better range than the short billet antenna I had on there before. Here is a link to that just for reference http://www.amazon.com/Black-Billet-inch ... B00651CIGM . This AntennaX one was junk. Poor reception and it got all bent up going through the car wash.

Yeah I have but I often put things on the roof so I didnt want anything on there. Also just like the clean look of not having an external one. I am really impressed with the Hirschmann hidden one so far

epec KJ's have the antenna mounted in the right rear glass.
